EDUCATION, MEDICATION and INCARCERATION: No Child Left Behind and the School to Prison Pipeline

Education, Medication and Incarceration examines the impacts of the No Child Left Behind Law on the behavioral health of low income students in urban environments. Fayola Autry provides an overview of everything from the origin of the NCLB law, to "Zero tolerance" policies in the classroom, to biased mental health diagnoses for students of color, to mass incarceration of black and brown youth in the US juvenile justice system. Our precious children are under attack.
