CJ and I have a long overdue conversation about the "school to prison pipeline." The government's institution of the “zero tolerance policy” in schools and its effect on our students and teachers perspective of students.

Does it create a scenario where individual races are set up for failure? Can we change it? What will it take?

This conversation takes some sides roads from the intended conversation, but they're amazingly beautiful, scenic, side roads.

“Deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex."
— Fred Rogers

“When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war and justice that proves more powerful than greed."
— Fred Rogers
