Cenk talks to Ana Kasparian about the schools-to-prison pipeline and in particular the case of Diane Tran, a Texas student who was thrown in jail for truancy, despite being a hard-working AP scholar struggling to support her family.
“The poor are definitely more affected by the situation,” Kasparian says, but funding cuts also add pressure. “Instead of adding human judgment, they say, ‘Let’s just get these students out of here.’” Cenk adds, “In this country, imprisonment is the answer to everything.”
