RUR producers Doug and Dorian visited Adlai Stevenson HS in the South Bronx, one of the City's "12 most dangerous schools" targeted by the Mayor's Safety Plan. We talked to students there about safety and education in their school.

Following the collage of Stevenson student voices, we begin a discussion of suspension centers, school safety, and more.
