Abstract
The school-to-prison pipeline is a phenomenon that mainly plagues the African American community. This thesis dives into the main components that contribute to the school-to-prison pipeline: demographic divide, psychological racism, disproportionate punishment, classroom management, and zero tolerance policies. Then it goes on to discuss solutions to the school-to-prison pipeline, like meditation and counseling.
