of Asian American students in city middle and high schools are bullied"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>A new survey of Asian American students in city middle and high schools found that half have been bullied about their race or religion at school.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>R The \u201csnapshot\u201d study of more than 160 Asian American public school students by the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund and Sikh Coalition was released Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The group\u2019s findings track with national research, including a 2007 National Center for Education Statistics report which found 11% of Asian American students said they had been called race-related hate words, compared to 3% of white kids, 7% of Black pupils and 6% of Hispanic children.<\/p>\n<p>Five years ago, Mayor Bloomberg announced a new regulation creating specific policies and protocols for dealing with bias-based bullying.<\/p>\n<p>The changes, like \u201cRespect for All\u201d posters in school hallways, have helped, advocates say, but too many Asian American kids are still being harassed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Just 40% of bullied kids surveyed by AALDEF and the Sikh Coalition said the school informed their parents, as is required.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New York City Department of Education spokesperson Marge Feinberg said the department takes bullying \u201cvery seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advocates said the city should release information on the number and type of incidents that are reported every year \u2014 and train a greater number of school employees about the issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They also urged schools to work to educate kids and staff before incidents happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\">nydailynews.com<\/a><\/em><br
