![]() I’m glad that while Drew may not have understood it in the beginning, he didn’t fight her on how that’s not privilege, or that maybe he just wasn’t as naughty as those other kids or whatever kind of excuse people like to throw around these days, but he did his best to understand where she was coming from, and just support her and what she was trying to do. Even Drew had to admit that whenever he did stupid stuff as a kid, he never had a true negative punishment that affected his future or anything like that, whereas the reason why Alexa is so passionate about making sure that Berkeley has an arts program for at-risk youth is because she doesn’t want a school to prison pipeline happening like there already is. It really dealt with how black kids are treated when they do something wrong versus white kids. ![]() ![]() It wasn’t a super huge talking point in this novel, but it was something that Alexa had to bring to Drew’s attention. ![]()
