I just read what I found to be a very interesting article about the problems with the trend toward treating school children like criminals.
Decriminalizing School Discipline: How to Stop the School to Prison Pipeline at The Source by nancy a heitzeg
This is part of the Criminal Injustice series that used to appear on Daily Kos. I found this article to be especially outstanding and I would like to recommend it as one which people who were fans of the series would find well worth their time.
