How does the presence of police shape school culture? In this episode we will discuss the ‘adultification’ of black and brown children, the school-to-prison pipeline, and racial stereotypes and assumptions that perpetuate trauma and modulate instances of police violence within schools. We will consider long-term impacts and punitive logic of zero-tolerance policies, as well as the restorative and culturally responsive practices that could be implemented with the resources currently diverted into school police departments.

Join us as we continue to imagine what it takes to create “A World Without Police”
