This episode explores the policies that push young people, especially youth of color, out of the educational system and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems. The "school to prison" pipeline gets created when trivial classroom misbehavior is criminalized, "problem" children are warehoused in substandard alternative programs, and kids in juvenile detention facilities are subjected to routine humiliations and deprived of quality education. "Freedom to Learn" maps out the different stages of the pipeline, and shows how individual children become trapped in it.
