Abstract
In the African American community, public education does not open doors for all students as it should, and most because our kids deserve more. Instead many students are restricted to the adverse effects of the school-to-prison pipeline (STPP) because school systems are not eradicating educational equality. This document will explore how the school-to-prison pipeline phenomenon affects one’s perception on black identity. The information collected within this study was strategically gathered in order to understand (1) how African Americans identify with society’s caricature of black identity, (2) the contributing factors of the STPP, and (3) innovative approaches to dismantling the pipeline. This study demonstrates through limited effects that black identity cannot be determined by race, but by individualism. The data and analysis provided will advance the study and implementation of sensitive trainings for faculty and staff to reduce the behavioral concerns.
