#SchoolToPrisonPipeline #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #detention It's been a dark weekend: floods, hurricanes, dam collapses, chemical explosions, on and on. But if you are in the DC/MD/VA area and need a little relief, go see EXCEPTION TO THE RULE, a new play about after school detention. Beautifully acted by 6 young talented actors, it highlights how broken kids are used to create and maintain the school-to -prison pipeline . Running until Oct 27 at Studio Theatre. https://www.studiotheatre.org/plays/play-detail/2024-2025/exception-to-the-rule
#BlackMastodon #SchoolToPrisonPipeline #BlackGirls The National Black Women's Justice Institute inaugurated the Black Girls Pushout & Criminalization in Schools Data Hub today. It is a consolidated info hub for data on the criminalization of Black girls in the public school space. The info can be used by activists, scholars and educational professionals attempting to understand and address school-to-prison pipeline as it pertains to Black Girl Pushout. https://www.nbwji.org/school-pushout-data?cid=a406ca1d-f255-4c95-b6bd-3cfdb1bbd574
"Bad" Black Kids & Plantation Parenting - Sunn M'Cheaux
Vulnerable little mammals, kids, ought to be safe from grown folks' + police brutality.
"Only the strong survive" might get us through some horrors but not unscathed.

Interrupting Criminalization has a new study out dealing with the lack of safety from police sexualization for Black girls, LGBTQ+ kids, Trans kids and other non gender conforming people when police are present in schools.

When k-12 teachers go on strike, I always have mixed thoughts.
When I read the demands of the teachers who strike I dually note them, and it all makes sense ( my spouse is an educator--- a sub-- and is treated very poorly on account of being Autistic), YET, the way strikers are going about it is poorly organized.
I think that bringing parents of students into the fight is IMPERATIVE.
The teachers are not the victims of the students. As exploited and manipulated as teachers are, it will never equate the oppression of youth.
Teachers won't be ultimately successful at striking, and winning those strikes, unless they bring their students, and students' families into that fight.
A teacher can't be arrested for repeatedly not showing up to work. A teacher won't lose custody of their family for not showing up to work. Parents do lose custody of children for repeat truancy. Students do have to show up to court for repeated truancy.
(This next part is especially toward educators)
NORMALIZE STUDENTS NOT SHOWING UP TO SCHOOL. NORMALIZE STUDENTS PROTESTING THAT SYSTEM.
Don't over explain and explain and explain how you're undervalued as an educator and then in a different post, talk about the problems of truancy and students "giving up".
It seems like you had no problem with being part of the school to prison pipeline as long as it benefitted you.
You all sound like you want increased pay and benefits for being the children's prison guards
Hypocrisy and double standards smell worse than fresh dogs' droppings on a hot summer day.

Bobby Bostic teaches writing and mentors incarcerated kids. He matters to them because his story resonates with them. He was in prison for three decades. He tries to inspire them to write for change.
The Marshall Project wrote about him here:

#SchoolToPrisonPipeline: Prisons are filled with people who society failed a long time ago. Parents, teachers, social workers, school counselors, police officers or lawmakers could have helped them but didn’t. Protecting children is the most crucial duty of any adult in a community.
#AbolishThePrisons
Here in the US, I feel rage when white +nonBlack people like to watch our Black bodies do sports, sing, + dance, but try to police how we use the symbols of the various cultures of Black folks, like with our hair

Rather than confront the root causes of #youth instability, the system is skewed toward punishing young #peopleofcolor and their families.

What's going on in your state?

School-to-prison pipeline is alive and well in Houston where 28 school libraries will be converted to discipline centers for students with behavior problems. Next week it's going to be school uniforms that are orange jumpsuits, just to prep the student body to be gen pop because that's all that is expected of them by the elected officials and the leaders of public services.

Suspension from high school increases the odds of being incarcerated later, even after accounting for key levels of criminal offending and other factors.

I just finished an interview about my books for a podcast and it was absolutely wonderful. I'll post when it's up obviously.
If anyone wants a #podcast guest re: #indiebooks #indieauthors #education, a white #teacher journey in learning about #whiteprivilege, #schooltoprisonpipeline
I know that's a bunch of hashtags but we had the best conversation and an hour felt like five minutes.
I love talking about my former students and how amazing they were and how much better they deserved.
I also have to talk about my white privilege and white idealism which is less comfortable but super super important if we're going to change.
