- Summary:
- Pushout: the criminalization of black girls in schools is a feature length documentary, based on a book of the same name by Dr. Monique W. Morris, that takes a deep dive into the lives of Black girls and the practices, cultural beliefs and policies that disrupt one of the most important factors in girls' lives-education. The documentary underscores the challenges Black girls face with insight from experts across the country who have worked extensively in the field of social justice, gender quality and educational equality. These experts give context to the crisis and provide a roadmap for how our educational system and those who interact with Black girls can provide positive, rather than punitive, responses to behaviors that are often misunderstood or mis-represented. While the challenges facing black boys in this country have garnered national attention, absent in that conversation has been how girls of color, particularly black girls, are being impacted. Pushout addresses that crisis. We hear from girls with experiences that impacted them from as young as seven to as old as nineteen, as they described navigating a society that often marginalizes and dismisses them.
