Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Pennsylvania State University, 2005.

This thesis explores the dangerous implications of the law/policy and ideology of "zero tolerance." The study examines the numerous analyses that have been done on zero tolerance, its legal problems and social impacts on school relationships and the learning environment. Based on the assumption that public schooling is to not only serve the instrumental ends of the market but also provide the resources, capacities and propensities---the means---for civic agency in a democratizing society, this study extends the previous studies of zero tolerance by recontextualizing their findings in terms of three categories essential to a vibrant democracy: the realm of the social; youth; racial justice. Also assuming that public schools are positioned within an array of social, political, economic, and cultural forces, I widen the analytical frame of reference to powerful trends occurring in society as a result of neoliberal social and economic policy, its supporting ideology and related processes of criminalization and militarization, and the new racial politics.

520 $a This thesis explores the dangerous implications of the law/policy and ideology of "zero tolerance." The study examines the numerous analyses that have been done on zero tolerance, its legal problems and social impacts on school relationships and the learning environment. Based on the assumption that public schooling is to not only serve the instrumental ends of the market but also provide the resources, capacities and propensities---the means---for civic agency in a democratizing society, this study extends the previous studies of zero tolerance by recontextualizing their findings in terms of three categories essential to a vibrant democracy: the realm of the social; youth; racial justice. Also assuming that public schools are positioned within an array of social, political, economic, and cultural forces, I widen the analytical frame of reference to powerful trends occurring in society as a result of neoliberal social and economic policy, its supporting ideology and related processes of criminalization and militarization, and the new racial politics.
520 $a My research reveals that when "zero tolerance" is interpreted in relation to broader forces pervading society and impacting public schools and youth, zero tolerance not only sends a disturbing message about dominant commitments to democratization but also plays a foundational role in undermining future prospects of democracy and democratization. I show how zero tolerance has reconfigured the space-time of the social in schools; legitimates the erasure of the social contract; normalizes the processes of criminalization and militarization in public schools and, by extension, society; and participates in the deceptive new racial politics, undermining racial justice by limiting life chances through the disproportionate punishment and social exclusion of youth of color.
520 $a This thesis suggests that "zero tolerance" is emblematic of the contemporary lack of a public vision regarding the democratic legacy and promise of public schooling and symptomatic of the troubled conditions of public life. "Zero tolerance" points to the urgent need for mutually determining public efforts at reclaiming the democratic legacy of public schooling and promoting the conditions that make democratic public life possible, and both efforts being rooted in a critical educated hope for a democratic future.
