Haitians strike blow against racism

Published May 4, 2005 5:19 PM

Haitian parents fighting the racist treatment of their children at Public School 34 in Queens, N.Y., have won a partial victory. An assistant principal who forced the children to eat rice and beans with their fingers while sitting on the floor will be fired for “conduct unbecoming.”

But the parents and supporters in the Haitian community believe the school’s principal tried to cover up the abuse by her assistant. They held a news conference at City Hall April 29 demanding that she be fired too.

For background on the story, see the April 28 edition of Workers World or visit http://www.workers.org/2005/us/haitian-students-0428/.
