Contested PoliticsKatherine Beck: The School to Prison PipelineIn the past few years, the term "school-to-prison-pipeline" has been used more and more to describe racism in the American education system. Whether it be zero-tolerance drug policies or the lack of robust extracurriculars, many racial justice advocates point to failures in education as a reason for a booming prison population. While the two institutions seem unrelated, a breakdown of the policies at hand and their unequal application tells a fighting story. As French philosopher Michel Foucault points out, all of life is a prison.2021-02-0120 min
