Anita Sinha A LINEAGE OF FAMILY SEPARATION 87 Brooklyn Law Review 445 (Winter, 2022) History, as nearly no one seems to know, is not merely something to be read.

This article is rooted in the belief that the articulation of shared narrative histories advances the pursuit of... 2022
Evan Coleman A ROSE IS STILL A ROSE: RETHINKING THE IMPACT OF PRISON ALTERNATIVES 44 North Carolina Central Law Review 61 (2022) What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. This phrase is a popular reference to William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, in which Juliet argues that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family's rival house of Montague; what matters is her love for him. This reference is often used to imply that... 2022
Moriah Mendicino AMERIKKKAN SCHOOLS: HOW ANTI-BLACK RACIAL INEQUITY IS PERPETUATED BY THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM WITH HELP FROM MODERN COURTS 23 Rutgers Race & the Law Review 451 (2022) Somewhere in the dream - we had an epiphany.

Itawamba, student free speech rights, a vigilantly protected constitutional freedom, came to clash with rap music, an art form viciously misunderstood by much of America.

FORT BEND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT HIGHLIGHTS THE INADEQUATE CONSTITUTIONAL CURRICULUM FOR ACADEMIC CORPORAL PUNISHMENT 67 Villanova Law Review 201 (2022) Battered schoolchildren are not interested in post-punishment relief.

The paddling was so severe that Clayton fainted... 2022

Emily Suski INSTITUTIONAL BETRAYALS AS SEX DISCRIMINATION 107 Iowa Law Review 1685 (May, 2022) ABSTRACT: Title IX jurisprudence has a theoretical and doctrinal inadequacy. Title IX's purpose is to protect public school students from sex discrimination in all its forms. Yet, courts have only recognized three relatively narrow forms of sex discrimination under it. Title IX jurisprudence, therefore, cannot effectively recognize as sex... 2022
Savannah L. Murphy IT STARTS AND ENDS WITH THE SCHOOLS: USING STRICT IDEA ENFORCEMENT TO SUNDER THE SCHOOL-TO-PRISON-PIPELINE FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS 48 Ohio Northern University Law Review 359 (2022) Many scholars have advocated for the unification of IDEA, ADA, and Section 504 principles in the juvenile adjudication process. This comment seeks a different approach. We should not have to unify two separate concepts, but rather strive to keep them in their own distinct universes. Special education and juvenile delinquency should not intersect.... 2022

Bo Malin-Mayor PROCEDURALIZE STUDENT SPEECH 131 Yale Law Journal 1880 (April, 2022) This Note proposes an important new dimension for student-speech jurisprudence: procedure. Current doctrine focuses on sorting the speech itself into categories, largely ignoring the school's response. But empirical evidence shows that how a school regulates speech determines whether students learn the lessons that schools intend or simply turn... 2022
