A powerful new video proves that young black girls are smart, capable and powerful -- even in the face of unfair school policies. 。
The video, part of the Let Her Learn campaign from the National Women's Law Center (NWLC), seeks to end school "pushout" -- or the use of targeted policies to deny young people their right to education.。

In the U.S., black girls are suspended from school five times more than white girls. But the so-called "offenses" of the two groups of teens -- often related to dress codes and behavioral policies -- actually look quite similar. 。
"Schools are unfairly pushing black girls out," NWLC wrote on the campaign's page. "They suspend them for minor stuff -- like 'having an attitude' or 'talking back.' These so-called violations are often informed by stereotypes and bias.。
"The result?
"The result? More frequent and harsher punishment for black girls."。
"It's never been more important to highlight the barriers black girls face in schools." 。

In grades K-12, black girls are only 16% of the girls enrolled, but they account for 45% of the girls receiving out-of-school suspensions.。
The girls in the video advocate for a reframing of how teachers, administrations and society see young black women. At the end of the PSA, they share who they truly are, labeling themselves as "strong," "smart" and "sensitive." 。 Tweet may have been deleted 。"It's never been more important to highlight the barriers black girls face in schools and eradicate the discrimination that threatens their success," Nia Evans, engagement and mobilization associate for NWLC, told 。

. "The Let Her Learn campaign ... invites the public to get involved and help turn this reality around. This will be an uphill battle." 。
Through the campaign, NWLC also released an online toolkit for students who want to examine their own school policies and see if they unfairly target girls of color. The 12-page toolkit -- available in both English and Spanish -- provides a starting point for students to learn their rights, how they can advocate for changes in school policy, and where to find dedicated help.。
"Black girls deserve to learn free from stereotypes, bias and policing. And we’ll keep fighting until it happens."。
According to NWLC, unfair disciplinary actions -- like the policies mentioned by the girls in the PSA -- often result in lost interest in school, lower grades, increased risk of dropping out, distrust of adults and authority figures, and increased risk of juvenile incarceration. These circumstances, NWLC argues, teach black girls that school is an unwelcoming place.。
"We aren't discouraged," Evans said. "Black girls deserve to learn free from stereotypes, bias and policing. And we'll keep fighting until it happens."。
