As part of our ongoing work to end the School-to-Prison Pipeline, NC HEAT and YOI joined with a number of other youth and civil rights organizations yesterday to file a federal complaint over policing in the Wake County Public Schools. In the complaint, we highlight a disturbing pattern of civil rights violations in Wake County schools that disproportionately affects students of color and students with disabilities.
