The School to Prison Pipeline: A Racial Injustice Pandemic

Across the United States, communities have come together to protest the brutalization of Black and Brown people at the hands of those whose duty is to serve and protect.  While the predominant focus is racism within our justice system, it is crucial to recognize institutional racism is also rampant within our educational institutions.
