Description of The School-to-Prison Pipeline
Oluo argues that schools are at least partially responsible for the high rates of Black men in prison. How did George Floyd’s experiences in school contribute to his eventual arrests and incarceration? In your essay, define what the school-to-prison pipeline is, including how and where it starts. Use this concept to show points in Floyd’s education that contributed to his path to prison, including punitive measures, standardized testing, lack of cultural sensitivity, racial bias, the pathologizing of black kids, classroom dynamics with teachers, and other issues.
