• TITLE: The African American Male Student and Problems with Suspensions and Expulsions within Public Schools

  ABSTRACT: This paper seeks to identify variables that influence the high rates of suspensions and expulsions of African American male students within the public school system. This position paper addresses the injustices within public education that targeted young African American males for placement into an environment where they are removed from the classroom and given “busy work” to occupy their time and not be in a learning environment. Researchers like Dr. Bell and other academic works are reviewed to stimulate conversations about this serious problem and address possible strategies that may help curb high expulsions and suspension rates of African American male students.
