“I'm learning [that] love and school are the only things you get for free when you're young, and I took it for granted.” LoveSchoolEducation Book:Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools Source: Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools
“Defining freedom cannot amount to simply substituting it with inclusion. Countering the criminalization of Black girls requires fundamentally altering the relationship between Black girls and the institutions of power that have worked to reinforce their subjugation. History has taught us that civil rights are but one component of a larger movement for this type of social transformation. Civil rights may be at the core of equal justice movements, and they may elevate an equity agenda that protects our children from racial and gender discrimination, but they do not have the capacity to fully redistribute power and eradicate racial inequity. There is only one practice that can do that. Love.” LoveFreedomEducationPowerSocial JusticeCivil RightsRacial JusticeGender Equity Book:Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools Source: Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools
