Pushout

"Pushout" by Monique W. Morris sheds light on the challenging realities faced by Black girls in the educational and juvenile justice systems, highlighting their resilience and dignity amid adversity. The book explores how policies and societal biases contribute to the disproportionate number of Black girls pushed out of school and into detention centers, often due to misunderstood behaviors and systemic neglect. Through four years of in-depth research, Morris aims to raise awareness and foster change to support these girls in achieving healthier, safer futures.
