Too often, our children are subjected to prison-like school security and arbitrary punishments, despite public outcry. Please join the ACLU of Michigan Oakland Branch as we take at look at public education, both locally and nationally.

The award-winning film The War On Kids explores the difficulty of how the public school system balances safety concerns with respect for young people's freedom.
The following week, we'll gather with juvenile justice experts to discuss what lessons we can learn about school discipline and how to advocate for young people in a world that seems to give up on them too quickly.
