Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore the complications of the expansion of School Choice Programs (SCP) and the integration of an African-centered curriculum, education, thought, and schools into American public schools and school choice programs. The complications deal with the issues of the Zero Tolerance Policy (ZTP), No Excuses Model, School to Prison Pipeline (STPP), and discriminatory practices that impact students of color at a higher rate than whites such as racial and economic segregation, expulsions, suspensions, and dropout rates, which evidence shows leads to juvenile and incarceration arrests. In order to correct the complications, the framework of African Centered Thought (ACT) based on Dr. Jacob Carruthers, and Critical Race Theory (CRT) should be implemented into the SCP for an African centered curriculum, education, thought, and schools.
