The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 160 If you had to narrow it down to a single reason our school classrooms and hallways have become so much more dangerous, rough, irreverent, and violent, any honest assessment would identify the widespread misapplication of restorative justice programs. It's long past time we face up to this fact, which was first exposed in the unbelievably important book Why Meadow Died by Andrew Pollack (https://amzn.to/41y1TKi), whose child died in the Parkland school shooting in Florida, and AEI fellow Max Eden. The problem didn't start in Parkland, however; it started in Oakland, and it spread as a result of pressures coming from the Office of Civil Rights in Obama's Department of Education well over a decade ago. As with so much in Woke education, the problem is infinitely worse and more fraudulent than one has any right to expect. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads some of Fania Davis's (Angela Davis's sister) ridiculous book The Little Book of Race and Restorative Justice (https://amzn.to/3D67bU0) along with a report cited by Davis (https://shorturl.at/nU6TA) in support of a program that simply doesn't work. It's time for America's parents to stand up to restorative justice and demand it be removed from our schools. New book!

We all understand the importance of equity in today’s society. As social revolutionaries, we often focus on creating economic equity, racial equity, and gender equity, but what about the disproportionate power dynamic between students and those “in charge” of their education?  In the adult-dominated world of academia, how do we engage youth as partners, contributors, and primary stakeholders in the important conversations and decisions within their schools? And how do we hold space and create the change they are so hungry for? Today on the podcast, I'm speaking with UP for Learning’s Executive Director Lindsey Halman and Youth Advisory Council member Evelyn Monje. UP empowers students by creating a youth-adult partnership for change, fostering a student-centered learning environment, and fostering the power of autonomy to our students, creating a socially just climate and culture for all.  Listen in! About Lindsey Halman and Evelyn Monje: Lindsey Halman joined the UP team in 2018 after 15 years as a middle-level educator, leader, and advocate. Prior to joining UP, she co-founded The Edge Academy at Essex Middle School. Edge Academy created a strong focus on youth voice and partnership, student-centered learning, project-based learning, and restorative practices. Lindsey holds her National Board Certification as a middle-level generalist and is a strong advocate for reimagining and transforming education. Evelyn Monje is a new employee of UP for Learning as of 2021. She is a current senior at Winooski High School and is enrolled in the Early College program through the Community College of Vermont. Evelyn is an active advocate for antiracism and equity in her community. She is passionate about collaborating with youth and adults to understand and address both antiracism and equity through restorative practices.  Follow UP for Learning by visiting their Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube, or website.

This week, after the Nonviolence Report. Nonviolence Radio broadcasts a recording of a speech from the keynote from the Association for the Contemplative Mind in Higher Education’s 2017 conference by Dr. Fania Davis. As the founder of Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth, a legal scholar, and a decades-long activist in the civil rights anti-racial violence, anti-apartheid, Black liberation, women’s, prisoner’s, peace, socialist and anti-imperialist movements, Dr. Davis talks about the power of restorative justice — as opposed to retributive justice — to heal and bring together communities fractured by violence, racism, fear and rage.  What is restorative justice? It is a worldview, rooted in indigenous principles, and a theory of justice that emphasizes bringing together everyone affected by wrongdoing to address their needs and responsibilities and to heal the harm as much as possible. To heal the harm as much as possible. It is a worldview rooted in indigenous principles and a theory of justice. Our prevailing justice system is based on a Roman notion of just desserts. If I do harm, the scales of justice become imbalanced and the only way to rebalance is to do harm to me.  Restorative justice invites a paradigm shift.  The three questions retributive justice asks are, “What rule was broken? Who broke it? And what punishment is deserved?” The three questions restorative justice asks are, “Who was harmed? What are the needs and responsibilities of everyone impacted? And how do all impacted come together to address needs and responsibilities and heal the harm? By drawing on her strengths as both a (wisdom, spiritual) warrior and a healer, Dr. Davis has helped bring about massive changes in the Oakland public schools. The use of restorative justice practices has raised graduation rates, drastically decreased the numbers of suspensions and absences and is starting to loosen the tight grip of racism on the education system and our society. The possibility of genuine healing depends on making space — creating a circle — where every voice matters and every voice is heard.

O encarceramento em massa apareceu em quase todos os nossos episódios anteriores como uma questão fundamental da cultura do medo, da violência do Estado, do racismo estrutural e da guerra às drogas. Nosso sistema de justiça atual é um sucesso como de controle social dos pobres e pretos, mas um fracasso no enfrentamento da violência, e não nos sentimos mais seguros mesmo prendendo cada vez mais gente. Existem então outras formas diferentes de lidar com os conflitos que não passem somente pelo punitivismo? Prender é mesmo a única forma possível? No episódio #6 do MANIFESTO:, conversamos com a Bruna Diniz, que é professora de direito penal da Universidade Ibirapuera, mestre e doutoranda pela USP, e com o Gustavo Oliveira, que é advogado, jornalista e trabalha no CDHEP, o Centro de Direitos Humanos e Educação Popular de Campo Limpo, em São Paulo - uma organização que trabalha com formação, articulação, comunicação e incidência em políticas públicas para prevenir e superar as diversas formas de violência existentes nas periferias. Nosso papo foi sobre abolicionismo penal e justiça restaurativa. São duas visões muito próximas, que trazem um olhar crítico radical para o direito penal e o sistema prisional, e propõem alternativas concretas para enfrentar a violência e os conflitos na sociedade. Conversamos sobre as limitações e as falácias do punitivismo atual, os desafios de desmontar uma cultura de justiça ligada à punição que está presente em todos nós, as estratégias de luta abolicionista e as experiências e técnicas já utilizadas hoje pela justiça restaurativa. ------ CDHEP: http://cdhep.org.br/ Fala da Petronella Boonen no Seminário Justiça Restaurativa: https://youtu.be/TJC1UZG7p_w Thiago Fabres, no TEDX Justiça Restaurativa e Abolicionismo Penal: https://youtu.be/c8fM-qbIHlE Amparar - Associação de Parentes e Amigos de Presos: https://cutt.ly/qfNQTzr Pequeno Livro Sobre Raça e Justiça Restaurativa, da Fania Davis: https://cutt.ly/FfNQOlm Comissão de Justiça Restaurativa da OAB-SP: https://cutt.ly/lfNQP32
