This question was addressed through the perspective of African American male students in a school district in northeast Ohio. The topic and research question led to literature research topics such as, the discipline gap, zero tolerance policies, school to prison pipeline, and restorative justice. The study sought to address the gap in the literature with obtaining a student voice on the topics. Several themes emerged from the research. The themes are referrals and removals, equal treatment, and background and reputation. All participants agreed that they had been removed from a classroom by a classroom teacher for one reason or another. The participants also agreed that they believed that not all students in schools are treated equally. Along with this the participants believed that their background and reputation played a key role in the way they were disciplined compared to other students. Some participants even felt that situations that may have transpired as early as elementary and middle school have followed them to high school and still affect them negatively. The research led to implications for teachers, administrators, and students in connection to student discipline practices. 2019-05-24 English text Ashland University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ashland1556640348910186 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ashland1556640348910186 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
