AAST and CLJ Professor David Stovall Co-Authored a Washington Post Op-Ed on the Reallocation of Current Police and Prison Resources to Teaching #BLM in Schools
In a co-authored Washington Post op-ed, David Stovall, UIC professor of Black studies and criminology, law, and justice, writes that in the discussion to reallocate police and prison resources to schooling America needs to ask if #BlackLivesMatter in schools. He and his co-author believe the answer is no, and explain the distinction between schooling and education. Cited in the piece is UIC professor Beth Richie, head of criminology, law, and justice, who uses the term “prison nation” to label how laws, policies and practices target marginalized people for criminalization. https://wapo.st/3j24BzC (subscription may required)
