Logical arguments and supporting evidence does not seem to be a requirement for many articles. This one made a "charter school to prison pipeline" claim with literally nothing to substantiate the argument. And multiple teachers tweeted about ithttps://progressive.org/public-school-shakedown/charter-to-prison-pipeline-millet-191022/?fbclid=IwAR26WSfew43Rw6SIlisKZIlGTtoo-qpfWgFC2xfdjfieslmKj2XVnXA_Vi8#.XbRSWStzaxQ.facebook …
More suspensions and more resource officers involved means more arrests? Who knows, maybe. But "pipeline" and "prison" are misleading here. Life in the US seems to set up an individual with a variety of worthy routes to prison

And there is no data mentioned to support this. In order to make this claim they need to show data to indicate black charter students are going to prison at a higher rate than regular public school. Or data showing that trouble in school directly acted as a compounding factor

Frankly the only "evidence" presented is that students who get in trouble in school are more likely to have trouble later. But they don't even attempt to link that as a direct cause vs a correlation
