Stop the School to Prison Pipeline
In impoverished areas all over America, students are attempting to navigate the minefield that is the education system. The Zero Tolerance policies make anything a student does punishable by the law. Immediately increasing each child's chance of ending up in the juvenile justice system and one day in the prison population. Children should be allowed to learn and succeed, as well as make mistakes without fearing incarceration. There are better ways to handle any behavioral problem and these unrealistic policies need to leave the education system.
