5 Things Every Brooklyn Schoolchild Should Learn
Stop-and-Frisk
Considering the fact that testimony in a current stop-and-frisk lawsuit, now being heard by a federal court, is based on the experiences of a then-thirteen-year-old boy, I think all Brooklyn schoolchildren should learn about this legally-dubious NYPD practice. After all, it’s never too early to learn about the Constitution, especially a little thing called the 4th Amendment. And this will be particularly pertinent information for all of the male African-American and Latino schoolchildren, since it is a statistical probability that they will get stopped-and-frisked at least once in their lives.
