“These mothers talked about their efforts to encourage their children to question authority, speak freely, and express opinions—all things they valued—only to then watch as their children were reprimanded or even criminalized for doing so at school.” — The Atlantic ([link removed])

“The spaces have gentle names: The reflection room. The cool-down room. The calming room. The quiet room. But shut inside them, in public schools across the state, children as young as 5 wail for their parents, scream in anger and beg to be let out.” — The Chicago Tribune ([link removed])

“Many students, especially low-income black and Hispanic children, are prevented from receiving the equal education that [Horace] Mann dreamed of. Some public high school students in New York are sharing their perspectives through open letters, spoken word and poetry.” — Movement Advancement Project ([link removed])
