Selected pages from one of Umi's graduate school papers.
Notes: The paper details pro-corporal punishment views and then the opposition to corporal punishment, underscoring the racial disparities in its application. Claims that Black and Puerto Rican students don't understand anything but “the board” stems from the adultification and criminalization of Black and Brown youth, something that still targets our students. The paper ends with a message that “students must be treated as human beings and be made to feel that they can contribute something to help themselves as well as others.”
