Brief Program Description
What does the Eugenics Movement have to do with education? Are specific groups not considered human beings in law? Participants will be challenged to investigate the various abstractions, barriers and pipelines to prison (risk-producing machines) that affect the learning environment and beyond. Participants will discuss and examine the historical use of categories and labels that were intended to injure and defraud specific groups. The "legal" descriptions of specific groups have been intentionally used in the school system to put certain youth at risk. Once these risk-producing abstractions are identified, participants will be able to understand the purpose of the categories and will be able to effectively create a personal code of conduct that will counter the assault on the humanity of students, parents, teachers and administrators.
