A federal appeals court held that the statutes, which have been the subject of nationwide attention, were unconstitutionally vague. https://t.co/N6PDACsDuj
“The decision comes in a high-profile case that implicates police in schools, racial disparities in law enforcement involving students, and the use of arrests or criminal referrals…”

Never doubt the courage of Black girls can change the world...
AND the survivors of the #AssaultAtSpringValley & the thousands of Black youth impacted by these racist ed laws are due reparations, starting with #PoliceFreeSchools.

A reminder that the same police in the streets are the same police in our schools.
It’s abolish ALL policing units, departments, and agencies. We keep trying to tell y’all.
Don’t believe us, read our #AssaultAtSpringValley Report: https://t.co/dd0WA3Ag1A
#PoliceFreeSchools
The report is named #AssaultAtSpringValley, after a 16yr-old Black girl attending Spring Valley High School in Columbia, SC was placed in a headlock and flipped over in her desk, then dragged & thrown across her classroom by a school police officer in 2015

Police in schools have outsize effect on Black children, report says. Black students were the subjects of more than 80% of the incidents of police violence accounted for in the #AssaultAtSpringValley report. https://t.co/vf2V7su9EO
#PoliceFreeSchools is evidence-based research and POSSIBLE. This investigation, along w/ the new @adv_project @4EdJustice #AssaultAtSpringValley report, confirms that putting police in schools is part of an ongoing systemic pattern & custom of abuse https://t.co/GVGDSBUORH
Excited to share this investigation. Des Moines Public Schools replaced police with restorative practices, and the brilliant @andykopsa spent 2 wks listening to students, teachers & staff on how it’s working.
Spoiler: It’s transforming the culture.

The #AssaultAtSpringValley report is a tribute to the survivors of school police violence & those courageous enough to intervene. It is a painful & overdue memorial to the lives already lost. Most of all, it is an undeniable call for #PoliceFreeSchools

The #AssaultAtSpringValley activated communities to rally in support of young people & families demanding an end to school policing.
We’ve been tracking school police assaults (#AssaultAt). School police assaults on Black students make up over 80% of assaults. #PoliceFreeSchools
This Wednesday at the @roxietheater in SF.
Join restorative justice leader @AGlassBlake for a conversation and screening of this powerful documentary about the #AssaultatSpringValley and police brutality in US schools and the struggle to end it.

I wrote about @BlackOrgProject’s BOSS campaign to eliminate the OUSD School Police & building of the nat’l campaign for #PoliceFreeSchools through @4EdJustice & the #AssaultAtSpringValley (plus el@215studentunion’s work) in the We Came to Learn Report: https://t.co/ZSjCCUoA0z
(1)Tuning into the South Carolina #DemDebate? This year will be 5 years since the #AssaultAtSpringValley in Columbia, SC. We know that police in schools, like police in our communities, is rooted in racism. #PoliceFreeSchools https://t.co/kaajbMW0rz
You know, this is such a beautiful moment. Onyx, was a young person when the #AssaultAtSpringValley happened. He wrote movement love letters to Niya & Shakara, stood w/her & other youth in support of them. Onyx helped us build our national campaign! #PublicEdForum
Another #AssaultAtSpringValley in Columbia, SC. This time sexual harassment and assault. The police department knew Jamel Bradley was a serial child predator and they still allowed hime to work in a HS for YEARS.

And we don't have to imagine what happens to Black girls in HS. Cuz we know re: #AssaultAtSpringValley & #AssaultAtMarshall #PoliceFreeSchools
So the cop that arrested a 6 year for tantrum was reprimanded in 2015 for excessive force. That's who they placed in a school. In case you ever wondered why people reject the idea that cops in schools make kids safer.
#AssaultAtSpringValley is what happens when #ADOS are viewed as less than human. This officer didn't see a 16yo Black girl having a difficult day. He saw "trash" + treated her like "trash" This is the hate being promoted by @YNB and @TalibKweli.
@iamdejmilann For we do our thing, we need to know you are safe.
[In past assaults they have arrested the student who recorded it like they did @_niyak in the #AssaultAtSpringValley ]
@4EdJustice @adv_project ☝🏾
@4EdJustice @RethinkNOLA I remember vividly the terror in students face and reactions in the #AssaultAtSpringValley video. In the 3 years since, I have heard the anguished screams of hundreds of Black students watching their friends and classmates being brutalized by school police.
#AssaultAtBruslyMiddle was mean & vicious, as is ALL school police violence, the brutality is on the level of what we seen at #AssaultAtWoodlawnHills
Which was way worse than the #AssaultAtSpringValley..
And why @4EdJustice is calling for #PoliceFreeSchools
Three years after the #assaultatspringvalley, our work to create a world where black girls thrive continues.
