The Master's House:

Dismantling the School to Prison Nexus


Drawing on decades of experience as an educator, researcher, and advocate for educational equity, Dr. Perkins delves into the historical and contemporary factors that have created and sustained the pipeline. He explores the disproportionate impact of zero-tolerance policies, the over-policing of schools, and the biases that lead to the criminalization of Black, Latinx, and other students of color. Through vivid case studies, data analysis, and personal narratives, Dr. Perkins illustrates the human cost of these practices and the urgent need for reform.

But Dismantling the School to Prison Nexus is not just a critique of the current system; it is also a powerful call to action. Dr. Perkins provides a blueprint for educators, administrators, policymakers, and community leaders committed to creating more just and equitable schools. He advocates for the adoption of restorative practices, culturally responsive pedagogy, and comprehensive support systems that address the root causes of student behavior and foster a positive school climate.

As we are nearing the close of this earth's history, the distractions of this world become more intense that make it so hard to distinguish the truth from errors. Consider this: When you look at the earth, you see an expression of God's love. You see God's creativity, His Design, His Mind, and automatically, you see His Character. He spoke it, and manifested the earth. Before, there was nothing! Then, He spoke, and the earth was created. So, we are walking on His expression, manifested into a solid thing we live on.
