Sheriff deputy Ben Fields body-slamming a 16-year-old student at Spring Valley High School, Columbia S.C. (YouTube)This week on CounterSpin: Many people were outraged by video evidence of a police officer violently assaulting and arresting a young black woman–not just by the brutality of the attack on a person who posed no threat, but because of where it happened, in a high school classroom. The incident at Spring Valley High School in South Carolina reflects a lot of problems, from the school-to-prison pipeline to the marginalization of black girls and women in conversations about state violence. We’ll talk about it with UCLA and Columbia law professor Kimberle Crenshaw, of the African American Policy Forum, producers of the report Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out, Overpoliced and Underprotected.

New York Times photo of scene of Palestinian violence (photo: Oded Balilty/AP)Also on the show: A New York Times headline referred to “The Dueling Narratives of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.” Such language implies a symmetry of power that doesn’t exist. We’ll discuss what’s missing from coverage of the most recent violence in the region from political analyst and writer Yousef Munayyer, executive director of the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation.
