Join us and author Aaron Kupchik and Dr. Yasser Payne, professor of sociology at the University of Delaware and author of聽Murdertown, USA, for a thought-provoking discussion on聽Suspended Education.
Every year, millions of students are suspended, disproportionately harming Black students and deepening racial inequities in education. Kupchik鈥檚 groundbreaking research uncovers how suspensions, originally designed to exclude rather than reform, became a tool for segregation after聽Brown v. Board of Education. Through compelling analysis and real-world case studies, he exposes the roots of this broken system and makes a powerful case for ending exclusionary punishments in schools.
