This is the brutal reality: school pushout still TARGETS Black, Brown, and disabled students, robbing them of clear pathways to their futures. This isn't by accident--it's systemic racism in action. These are features of the system, not accidents. It's time to call it!
Corporal punishment disproportionately impacts Black, Brown, Native Americans and students with disabilities.
