Please join Internet radio host Dr. James Avington Miller Jr. as he continues to closely examine the Restorative Justice movement in our urban public schools. The end game of the war on public education is its destruction and the creation of a privatized network of schools. To accomplish this end, weapons were and are employed: zero tolerance, no excuses, criminalization of students' behavior in school, and the school to prison nexus. Restorative Justice in our schools is the counter weapon to the mass criminalization of student behaviors in school and its School to Prison Pipeline nexus.
Is Restorative Justice our hope out of this web of mass destruction? Can schools become THE MODERN ENGINES OF SOCIAL JUSTICE? Can Restorative Justice lead the way out of the school to prison pipeline nexus? Can we transform our schools into places and agents of social justice, change, and hope? We have to try.
