Type of evidence used: The article used facts by what happens to kids after and when they get suspended and proves that suspensions do hurt kids.
2.)When a kid gets suspended, while their gone from school all of the assignments during the suspension are automatic 0's and they first get and trouble and then the school just starts to fail them. that really teaches kids nothing because it just flunks and it starts a whole other story.

B.) The rhetorical device being used is imagery because it gave us a lot of really bad reasons kids got suspended for little acts that could affect their academics.
C.)Logos 
D.)Imagery and Logos was used to show that suspending people doesn't help the student succeed, and learn their lesson. The article proves some of the littlest things can lead to a big punishment and have facts to prove it.]]> 2018-02-15 13:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/spencer_edwards/lwtfx3okak0r/wish/231892172 spencer_edwards https://padlet.com/spencer_edwards/lwtfx3okak0r/wish/234213596 Claim: Racism is still happening in America and it happens at anytime and anywhere.
