#EndSchool2Prison
Eliminating the School-to-Prison Pipeline
Traditional school discipline flows from bias, not science. Kids of color suffer double jeopardy behavior bias—explicit bias that has their behavior misunderstood and implicit bias borne of racism delivering more punitive responses. Neuroscience proves students with challenging behavior lack the skill, not the will, to behave. Let’s listen to science to interrupt bias, build school culture, and promote Black leadership to end the school-to-prison pipeline.
