About the Book

This book is about a system of public policy within public-school education that has scarred the lives of many young black students with school suspension, expulsion, and/or police arrest. Many will have received roughly three criminal charges on their police records well before they will ever receive a diploma. The two key perpetrators of this public policy called zero tolerance are the weak school principal and the overzealous school resource officer.
