Stop the Prejudice Against Girls of Color in School - ONLINE PETITION
This blatant prejudice has harmful repercussions. By missing school,
girls of color are falling behind their classmates. Being the target of
excessive discipline makes them feel unwelcome at school and afraid to
speak up, and students who are suspended or expelled are more likely to
drop out.
The National Women's Law Center is pushing for policy
solutions to protect young girls of color in school. We believe
educators and counselors must be trained to recognize - and combat -
their implicit bias, and develop alternative discipline practices to
replace harsh zero-tolerance policies.
