The Dignity in Schools Campaign (DSC) unites advocates, parent and student organizers, educators, and lawyers around the country to stop discipline policies and other school practices that push students out of school, and instead support policies that keep young people in school and protect their basic human rights to quality education and dignity.
The DSC has created this section of our website to help youth, parents, educators and organizers find useful information on our website, and to provide links to resources on the internet. We need your help to build and expand this section. Contact us with your ideas and internet links, and get involved in one of our active projects or campaigns.
