On behalf of the Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools, Director Keron Blair has released the following statement regarding the video of a police officer's violent interaction with a student at Spring Valley High School in South Carolina:
"The video of officer Ben Fields dragging an African American female student across the room broke my heart. I think it broke the heart of every student, parent and educator who watched it. It was too much, and so much about what we saw was just wrong and unacceptable!
