Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.

This article examines the rationale behind "Stop and Frisk," a controversial law enforcement tactic, and the impact of its decline.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Justice, Freedom & Equality, Prejudice & Discrimination, and War & Peace as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
