Anti-Black racism in Ontario schools frequently channels Black students into detentions, suspensions and incarceration at a much higher rate than among other students. Tonight we will explore this issue by screening the short new documentary  "The School to Prison Pipeline in Ontario," followed by a discussion. The film was produced by the Black Legal Action Centre.
