@PeacebuildersCA @TOYouthCabinet Talking about how we’re supposed to get a receipt when #carded by #police - “The only receipts I know about are the ones you get when you go to the grocery store”

Loved talking about our experiences in #police interactions at our @PeacebuildersCA #YouthAdvisory tonight w. @TOYouthCabinet

[PBYouth @PBYouthVoice]

At our @PeacebuildersCA #YouthAdvisory we talked about #academicstreaming and the need to differentiate tests from learning: “you can fail at tests. You can’t fail at learning “

[PBYouth @PBYouthVoice]

Adults are more knowledgable of what's right from wrong than youth. You can't treat them the same.

[PBYouth @PBYouthVoice]

Youth don't know right from wrong yet. They are not fully aware of the consequences for their actions.

Q3. Why should justice-involved 12-17 y.olds be treated differently from adults with the same charges? #youthjustice #A2J2017

[PBYouth @PBYouthVoice]

Police question students in the hallways or in front of the school.Why do they do this?

[PBYouth @PBYouthVoice]

Police should not be in school period! They'll be suspicious about certain students especially due to their race.

[PBYouth @PBYouthVoice]

@PeacebuildersCA More supports and alternatives to charges! #A2J2017

[PBYouth @PBYouthVoice]

@PeacebuildersCA The police could build better relationships with students #A2J2017

[PBYouth @PBYouthVoice]

@PeacebuildersCA We'd feel safer if police were in school, less bad things would happen

[PBYouth @PBYouthVoice]

@PeacebuildersCA A lot of students feel they can be stereotyped by the police #A2J2017

[PBYouth @PBYouthVoice]

@PeacebuildersCA None. A lot of students have had bad experience with police outside of the school so don't want to see them inside of schools too.

[PBYouth @PBYouthVoice]

@PeacebuildersCA Even just going into those spaces, like police stations and courts, can be scary. #A2J2017

[PBYouth @PBYouthVoice]

@PeacebuildersCA Because youth are still growing up and learning from their mistakes. #A2J2017
