Asian Students Sue in Philly

[chanel]

PHILADELPHIA -- An advocacy group has filed a federal discrimination complaint against the Philadelphia school district in response to a series of attacks on Asian students.

The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund filed the civil rights complaint Tuesday with the U.S. Department of Justice. That's according to Cecilia Chen, an attorney for the group.

The complaint says the district acted with "deliberate indifference" toward harassment of Asian students and failed to prevent the Dec. 3 attacks at South Philadelphia High School.

School officials say 10 students were suspended over the attacks, which hurt about 30 Asian students. Dozens of students later boycotted classes for eight days.

The district has since added more security officers and cameras. A school spokesman did not immediately comment Tuesday.

Good for them. I am so sick and tired of thugs and bullies being treated as the "victims".

This won't change that. Our schools are run by IDIOTS. They are bloated with to many administrators and way to much politically correct crap goes on in school boards across this Country. Teachers Unions do not help at all.

They have to start expelling these terrors. The juvenile court system is a joke. When there are no consequences (and often rewards) for behaving like an animal, children believe this is acceptable. I am sick of it. Schools are becoming warehouses for kids who are too dangerous to "roam the street".
