Black Children Will Be the Victims of Armed Teachers

In her one-woman show Notes from the Field, Anna Deavere Smith exposes the consequences of America’s abandonment of our most vulnerable and troubled children. She reveals that what is now known as the “school-to-prison pipeline” is, in fact, the sum of our failures to meet the needs of our children — in particular, children of color. I found it brutally ironic that this show premiered on HBO just as the nation turned its attention to Parkland, Fla.
