For example, school assemblies, even pep rallies, are used to present guests to the students who are moving forward in their academic careers. All students to have been given ISS or OSS are explicitly excluded. It doesn't matter why. There are students that get suspended for wearing pajamas when they have no clean clothes, or wearing their hoodie in class because they want to hide the fact that they don't have facilities to bathe because they live in a car. These administrators are actually harsher to these students than previous admins. They are ensuring the cycle of poverty continues by robbing these students of their dignity and possibly their future. At the very least, they are not receiving equal access to educational opportunities. As for the digital learning with no accommodations for 504 and IEP students, that is the very definition of students with disabilities not being given their rightful services, services that are fundamental to breaking poverty cycles. If that's not what CRT is supposed to fight for, then what is it?
