On the September 26th edition of Your Call, we'll rebroadcast a conversation we had with Dr. Monique Morris, author of Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools.
Morris writes, “Black girls are 16 percent of the female student population, but nearly one-third of all girls referred to law enforcement and more than one-third of all female school-based arrests.” How are punitive disciplinary responses disproportionately affecting black girls? How can we reduce practices that criminalize black girls? It’s Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
