When it comes to a store being robbed, someone getting killed, or
an escape from prison, many Americans visualize Latinos or African Americans
committed the crime. Many believe that those two races don’t have a quality
education. However people of color are not equally provided with education
institutions, or resources that will benefit them equally as individuals. In the
Americans Black and Latino communities, adolescents often have limited resources
and are more likely to experience incarceration.
An African American is mostly viewed as a criminal, violent
person. He or she is not viewed a human or a student: “Disproportionately
warehousing communities of color and poor people-one in nine Africans American
males between the age of 20-34 are behind bars, and one in 100 Africans
Americans women (PewCenter, 2008)- between 1987 and 2007, the U.S. prison
population tripled, the direct result of public policies that are often
popularly named ‘tough on crime’…” (“Resisting the School,” 2010). The article
gives facts about African Americans girls and boy in prisons statues. Another
article talks about girls that are in the path of criminal profile. “Absent
from this line of questioning is any discussion, analysis, or wonder as to why
most of the girls in the detention center are African Americans and why
so-called crimes are punished by jailing girls”(Winn 2010). This is important,
due to the fact that because of the high rates of incarceration African
Americans are receiving less of a formal education than other minority groups.
The less education they get the less opportunities they will receive give in
life.
As Latinos, we are viewed in the same way as African Americans
but an addition to that they are also viewed as “immigrates”.“Similarly Latinos,
who combined with Africans Americans, account for one-quarter for one-quarter of
the U.S. population and more than three-quarters of incarcerated persons in
American prisons, have experienced similar phases of repression throughout
history (Radile & Irizarry, 2010). The evidence shows that some of the U.S
population (that are Latinos) are in prison or are mostly to be in prison due to
their immigration status. “ With the federal 287(g) program that empower local
and state police across the United States to act as a federal immigration
authority, the persistence of deportation raid in cities such as... Little
Village neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois in 2007, and the militarization of
border area to reassemble larger prisons, immigration in a growing components of
the PIC in the United States (“Resisting the School.”2010). This show how
“immigrants” are viewed: that we are most likely to be deported. The city
believes that there in no point in investing money in these kids if they are
going to be deported. Latinos and African Americans are not the only ones to
blame for the school to prison pipeline. Society should be blamed as will.
“Since 1985 Illinois has built over 20 prisons, work camps or others detention
facilities, and no new institutions of public higher education-the planned
pathways for youth are clean” (Resisting the School.”2010). It has been shown
that students are not only that are preventing themselves from going to school
when society does not built any school that can benefit the communities.“…lack
of resource such as access to pre-school have produced a ‘cradle-to-prison’
pipeline…there are is still lack of scholarship on increasing number of girls
being arrested and detained in the juvenile justice system” (Winn2010). There
is a small amount of school institutions in our communities but then jet there
is a big about of prisons that are being built.
Society says students are the ones to blame because of school to
prison pipeline but the stuff in the board of education/ society stops and think
that students are not the only one that are being affected, teachers are as
well, “More, the majority of pre-service teachers come from suburban communities
and from middle or upper middle class families…per-service teachers are often
disconnected from and unfamiliar with the social-culture realities of the urban
poor” (Radil & Irizarry, 2010). “We bear in mind the implication of a recent
study that found school connectedness,“defined as a student’s feeling parts of
and cared for at school”, to be unlinked with lower level of substance use
violence, suicide attempts, pregnancy, and emotional distress among young
people” (Radile & Irizarry, 2010). Students are not the only ones that will
be affected by less education, teachers will as well. The less schools there
are, the less jobs there will be.
The school to prison pipeline happened if the school is in poor,
low-income communities are not provide with enough resources for Latinos or
African Americans to be successful in life. Society finds any little excused so
that students will not be provide with any programs or any institution that can
benefit them. One in nine African Americans has be incarcerated in some point in
their life. This is an excuse that society will use so that African Americans
won’t be provide with an equal education. It’s the samething with Latinos, the
fact that we are “immigrants” that Latinos don’t stand a chance because its
mostly likely that Latinos will be deported. Students from these two races will
prove that they are capable of reaching this goal of going to school. Twenty new
prisons were built but no school institutions were built for our communities.
Students are not the only ones that we be affected by school to prison pipeline.
If there are no schools, then no jobs that will be provided for teachers that
come into these communities have different backgrounds then their students.
