Schools ‘criminalize’ Black girls, jeopardizing their future success
A common practice with far-reaching impact
By Carol Ozemhoya, Our Weekly News Contributor
Recently, Our Weekly ran a story about a group of teen girls who were strip searched and chastised at a middle school on the East Coast. No apparent reason was given by the school’s administration, except that the girls – who were Black and Latino – were giggling and boisterous in a school hallway.
While the situation is under investigation, incidents of young girls of color being singled out for disciplinary actions are unfortunately common in schools across the U.S. New findings reveal a stunning and far-reaching impact on these teens and even pre-teens that can negatively affect them and impact their futures in an alarming way.
‘Adultification’ of Black girls
It’s being called “the criminalization of Black girls.” It’s also being referred to as the “adultification of Black girls.”

Blacks in Alabama Gain Congressional Seat After Lawsuit Prompts Redrawn Map
By Barrington M. Salmon, NNPA Newswire Contributor
Last week, a trio of federal judges chose a new congressional map for Alabama after almost two years of protracted skirmishes in state, federal and US Supreme courts.
Plaintiffs, including the NAACP, ACLU, Shalela Dowdy and Evan Milligan, had filed suit to challenge a new congressional district map drawn by Republicans in the Alabama Legislature which they said violated the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act. The Republican-dominated legislature ignored the US Supreme Court and a lower court, forcing a three-judge panel to appoint a special master to redraw the boundaries.
Milligan said in the days after the court victory he has purposely not taken too much time to celebrate.
“I think I expected (this outcome) only very recently in the last couple of weeks,” said Milligan, 42, executive director of Alabama Forward, which describes itself as ‘a statewide civic engagement network committed to bringing together nonpartisan organizations to (build) power around progressive civic issues and movement towards greater freedom.’ “I am rightfully overjoyed, happy and thankful but as I think about those closer cases, there is a lot in store for us to do.”
