“The practice of pushing kids out of school and toward the juvenile and criminal justice systems has become known as the ‘school-to-prison pipeline,’ and in 2013, NEA members and leaders made a formal commitment to close it. Fueled by zero tolerance policies and the presence of police officers in schools, and made worse by school funding cuts that overburden counselors and high-stakes tests that stress teachers, these excessive practices have resulted in the suspensions, expulsions, and arrests of tens of millions of public school students, especially students of color and those with disabilities or who identify as LGBT.” (neaToday, January 5, 2015)
