The Diversity Task Force, under the leadership of Kriss Kemp-Graham, examines public schools' zero tolerance for African-American girls, the criminalization of black girls, and the school to prison pipeline.

The “school-to-prison pipeline” refers to the policies and practices that push our nation’s schoolchildren, especially our most at-risk children, out of classrooms and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems.  This pipeline reflects the prioritization of incarceration over education.
