• Proponents will argue it’s about fairness and deterrence
  • Lack of judicial discretion and a shift to prosecutorial power will end up with disproportionate punishments, while still allowing for discrimination

      In my area, there are special schools dedicated to hosting expelled kids. It most certainly makes things worse and not better.

      I was at a regional magnet school, so I probably would have gone to my town’s middle school.

      I honestly don’t know what happens if you get kicked out of that- maybe you go to a neighboring town’s school, or maybe there are other schools for kids that get expelled, but the government still has an obligation to educate you until a certain age, so you don’t just stop going to school (unless you’re in juvenile detention, at which point you probably have a teacher on premises).
