Black students are disproportionately reprimanded in the education system. This is primarily seen in elementary, middle school and high school students (K-12), according to a 2018 report by the United States Government Accountability Office.
Although Black boys are included in the overrepresented group of students being punished, research reflects that Black girls are punished and criminalized at an alarming rate that is higher than non-Black girls for school, including suspensions and expulsions.
“Such comments demonstrate that stereotypes of Black girls, interpreted as ‘loud,’ are imbued with adult-like aspirations, and perceived, in turn, as a threat,” Rebecca Epstein, Jamila J. Blake and Thalia González said in a report published by the Georgetown Law Center on Poverty and Inequality. Harris said that Black girls get written up for things such as talking back, having an attitude, inappropriate dress and emotional expression. These are some of the reasons that girls from The Concrete Rose Project have said they experienced discipline.
She added that the high school the girls from the research group went to had one of the highest rates of suspension for Black girls in the state of California at about 19%. However, Black girls in New York City are experiencing something similar.
