Evidence

Children of Color are consistently over-referred to special education (Codrington & Fairchild, 2013), under-referred to gifted programs (Ford, 2013), and inequitably disciplined (US Department of Education Office of Civil Rights, 2014)β€”all components of the preschool-to-prison pipeline (Bryan, 2017). β€” James D. Kirylo (ed.), Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 261
