CONTROVERSY ADDRESSED IN THIS ISSUE:
The School to Prison Pipeline refers to a national trend in which school policies and practices are increasingly resulting in criminalizing students rather than educating them.  Statistics indicate that the number of suspensions, expulsions, dropouts or “pushouts,” and juvenile justice confinements is growing.  Moreover, there is a disproportionate impact on students of color and students with disabilities and emotional problems.  In this issue, we invite authors to examine the policy implications, the political ramifications, and the causes and possible solutions to this problem.  Moreover, what are these policies teaching our children?
