I’ve moved to the US two years ago, and while I was aware of racism I now realise that I lived in a bubble before. I chose this topic to educate myself as well as spreading awareness. My blog post is about the school to prison pipeline for boys of color. Race and social class are factors contributing to the problem, but so is gender. Instead of dealing with problems in school and receiving additional aid in counselling or educational services, students are punished and funnelled into the criminal system. Boys of color are especially at risk.
