Season 3 Episode 9 | 5m 19sVideo has Closed Captions
Suspensions keep students away from school. Should we even have suspensions?
Suspensions disproportionately target minorities, and some students who get suspended are more likely to repeat a grade, drop out of school, and become involved in the criminal justice system. But suspensions are viewed by some as a necessary tool to keep schools safe. Should suspensions be suspended?
