In California and throughout the nation, youth are being
subjected to bias, harassment and discrimination in schools.
The failure to address these experiences is leading to a
dangerous trend: students stop engaging, misbehave, and
become so alienated that they choose to leave school or
are forced out.
The ACLU of Northern California's Schools
for All Campaign works to ensure that all youth attend schools
that are inclusive, respectful, and welcoming - schools
that do not give up on students but rather strive to foster
the potential of every child.
"Schools have a tremendous incentive
to push out the children who are not doing well."
- Ruth Zweifler Student Advocacy Center of Michigan
