What inference can you make about race and class regarding the school to prison pipeline?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Ans: Black children are more likely to be punished in school for minor offenses, which leads to high rates of suspension, detention, and explosion of Black students compared to White. Also, Black students are often victims of the school to prison pipeline because of the way racism or racial biases are present within the classroom, from school personnel and officers in schools. The disproportionately high suspension and expulsion rates for students of color continues to be an issue. Black students are 3 times more likely than White students to be both suspended and expelled. The police presence in schools has exacerbated the racial divide: Although Black students only represent 16% of student enrollment, they represent 31% of school-related arrests. Students from low-income backgrounds, which includes students of color, are negatively impacted by the school to prison pipeline because they tend to perform lower on standardized tests and are more likely to receive harsher punishments compared to high-income students who
