I have written about punishment before, about the inequity
between the rich and the poor. Punishment does not always equate to justice and
often creates more poverty.
Case in point: "How
Driver's License Suspensions Unfairly Target The Poor"
This is an interesting story which demonstrates quite clear
some of imbalances within the justice system.
Why am I an educator writing about this? Because I believe this
is an educational issue across the board, from the school systems, law
enforcement, court systems, and the government. How often have we heard and
seen those in privileged position be excused for something a poor person would
get hard time for?
This issue needs to be examined because the imbalance seems
to be getting worse.
Punishment is not always justice.
