Is the New York City Public School System a Police State?




In this video, Dr. Boyce Watkins speaks with Professor Christopher Emdin from Columbia University. Dr. Watkins and Dr. Emdin respond to the recent report that one child per day is arrested in New York City public schools and 93% of those kids are black or brown.  The conversation (the audio is a bit choppy, but we’re working on that) focuses on black kids in the school system and why they are more likely to be punished by teachers.
