The African American Policy Forum and Columbia Law School’s Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies released a study that shows that Girls of color face much harsher school discipline than their white peers but are excluded from current efforts to address the school-to-prison pipeline.
In Miami Black girls comprise less than 1/4 of the overall girls population, but 1/3 of the number of students receiving in-school suspensions and over half of those receiving out-of-school suspensions. Consistent with the findings of AAPF’s #BlackGirlsMatter Report, these ratios were more disproportionate than those for black boys when compared to their white counterparts.
