Did you know that black and Latino boys are more likely to be suspended from school for minor offenses, like tardiness or talking? These suspensions result in more time out of school, something researchers are referring to as "school pushout," which means less access to learning and instruction. Recess blogger Wenna Price writes about this research and more, in light of Malala Yousafzai's visit to Washington, D.C., this month. Malala, the 16-year-old shot by the Taliban for supporting girls' education, continues to advocate despite continued obstacles. Price pushes for a Malala-like advocate here in the United States -- only not for girls' access to education, but for minority boys who are being pushed out of school unnecessarily.
