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
