Thousands of law enforcement officers are stationed in American schools - and they're a key part of the "school-to-prison pipeline," which places students into the criminal justice system for matters of school discipline.
It started in the 90s, when schools began responding to rising crime rates with zero-tolerance policies. There were originally put in place to stop weapons and drugs from entering schools and to prevent tragedies like Columbine-these policies extended beyond to include smaller infractions such as uniform violations, talking back, insubordination, etc.
Schools in Oakland, California are exploring new ways to break the school-to-prison pipeline. These schools practice restorative justice where both parties talk out their issues instead of administrators suspending or expelling students.
