Abstract
This chapter explores school suspensions and the extent to which perceptions of racism or differential treatment are held by African American adolescents with multiple school suspensions occurring between August 2018 to present, as well as the perceptions of families and community members. Racism in school exclusionary suspensions (RISES) is a mixed-methods study that addresses the long-standing phenomenon of out-of-school suspensions and school pushout resulting in African American elementary, middle, and high school adolescents dropping out of school before graduation and entering the school-to-prison pipeline. The importance of parental, teacher, and administrator advocacy, as well as community engagement are further explored as the researchers make the case for African American male adolescent suspensions.
