Madison, Feb. 25, 2019: Stop Harming Black Youth!! Teach-in & BOE Meeting

Stop Harming Black Youth!! Teach-in & BOE Meeting

545 W Dayton Street, Madison, 5:30-9 P.M. 

Join us on Monday, February 26, 2019 at 5:30pm in front of the Doyle Building for a short teach-in before attending the school board meeting at 6pm.

On February 13, an 11-year-old Black girl was beaten by the Dean of Students and acting Principal, Rob Mueller-Owens. The police who were called to help the 11-year-old Black girl threatened to criminalize the child when the child’s mother said she would press charges against Mueller-Owens. This is the reality of the “Black-Excellence” Madison Metropolitan has implemented—violence against black and brown students.

Over the last two years, Freedom, Inc. youth have been advocating for the divestment of paid school police officers and the criminalization of Black and Brown youth. Young people are demanding for the investment of resources in education that promotes leadership, wellness and creativity for youth of color.
