Beto: ‘Problem of Mass Incarceration Is Much Deeper than Police, than Our Courts’

EXCERPT:

O'ROURKE: "In the kindergarten classroom where those children are 5 years old, a child of color is 5 times as likely to be disciplined, suspended, or expelled as a white child in the same classroom in front of the same teacher. So this schoolhouse to jailhouse pipeline and this problem of mass incarceration is much deeper than police, than our courts. It is our country and we absolutely must face it."
