Black People vs. Educational Culprits Engaged in Our Systemic Mass Incarceration in the United States of America
Harper, Shaun R.
Peabody Journal of Education, v96 n5 p582-587 2021
Eight culprits in the systematic mass incarceration of black people are interrogated in this fictitious courtroom proceeding. Each defendant is somehow involved in the ecosystem of schooling that ruins the lives of millions of black students and their families via racist discipline policies and practices. Accountability for the insufficient preparation of prospective teachers and school leaders, as well as the inadequacy of professional development experiences for educators who currently work in schools across the United States, are emphasized in questions posed to defendants in this trial. Some others who contribute to and sustain the school-to-prison pipeline are implicated in the closing argument.
