School exclusion is a significant issue in both Brazil and the USA, particularly affecting low-income, minority, and special needs students. In Brazil, it's often linked to broader socioeconomic factors and educational inequality. In the US context, school exclusion practices have been controversial due to documented disparities in how they're applied to different racial groups. The term is used both in formal educational policy and in social science research on educational equity.
