** What Is the School-to-Prison Pipeline, and
How Do We Disrupt It?
------------------------------------------------------------

Understanding how school discipline policies can contribute to the school-to-prison pipeline is essential for educators and families. Harsh punishments, automatic out-of-class time and police involvement for discipline can push young people out of classrooms and into the criminal legal system. But educators, parents and caregivers can help to change this harmful system by advocating for and implementing practices that prioritize mental health and well-being.

We offer this new resource page ([link removed]) that highlights LFJ articles and content on the school-to-prison pipeline to open dialogue, shift practices and foster change to benefit all young people.

** Teaching the Civil Rights Movement
------------------------------------------------------------

If young people are to make the vision of a just and peaceful world a reality, we must give them the tools to build a strong, multiracial, inclusive democracy—and those tools include an honest and comprehensive history of the United States.

LFJ's newest curriculum, Teaching the Civil Rights Movement ([link removed]) , begins in 1877 with Reconstruction, highlights the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and '60s, and continues the narrative of the struggle for equality and civil rights to the present.

This publication, organized into four chronological periods, includes essential knowledge within 14 summary objectives, guiding principles to support educators in being reflective and intentional in their teaching, and resource options for teaching the essential knowledge.
