Exclusionary discipline during the critical early grades worsens academic disparities and fuels the school-to-prison pipeline. We’re working alongside @cfjjma , @MassAdvocates, and other partners to ban suspensions for MA's youngest students. https://t.co/henar3iQDz

Advocates of legislation to ban early elementary school suspensions say even one instance of removing a young student from class is too much.

Thank you @BostonBar for recognizing MAC at Law Day! We were truly honored to receive the John G. Brooks Legal Services Award, and we had so much fun seeing colleagues and peers.
Our first award tonight is the John G. Brooks Award, to @MassAdvocates, for their work with immigrant children around the commonwealth.

Federal data shows Black and Latino/students are three to five times more likely to pass through a metal detector than their white counterparts. “What you’re making these students internalize is that this space isn’t the sacred space of learning." https://t.co/liOr7sv4YH

School violence has skyrocketed by 185% nationwide. Boston City Councilors are now calling for action and pushing for stiffer security measures including metal detectors and school safety officers.
