This situation is so disturbing on so many levels.<\/strong>
\nIt’s sad to think, that school administrators could be harboring their own bias and prejudices against Asian students, and continue to allow the persecution of Asian students by African American students.<\/p>\n

Luu was among the students suspended as a result of the violence that enveloped the school Dec. 3, when Asians faced a daylong series of assaults by groups of mostly African American classmates. <\/strong>A district inquiry blamed the violence on rumors that sprang from an after-school altercation between Asian and African American students the previous day.
\nity school district officials formally acknowledged Thursday that 17-year-old Hao Luu was not connected to a street gang – an allegation that was used to ban him from South Philadelphia High.<\/p>\n

Evelyn Sample-Oates, the district’s vice president for communications, said a letter had been placed in Luu’s file to acknowledge his innocence and clear his name of the charge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh Gee THANKS!<\/strong><\/p>\n

“If there’s any wrongdoing on the school district’s part,” she said, promising a full review, “we certainly will apologize to him and his family.”<\/p>\n

“Before, I was really worried, especially when I heard they were saying I was from a gang,” he said through a translator. “I was worried how it would affect if I could go to college or get a job. My family was so concerned that the school wasn’t treating me right. My grandmother, my mom, and my dad and especially me are so relieved and so happy.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it’s been confirmed that allegations made by African American students that Asian students beat up a disabled African American student the day before, are FALSE (thanks to Helen for the heads up!)<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Two distinct reports can be found here<\/a>
\nand here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sounds like the school administrators are also racist, not only the African American students.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Soooooo disturbing!!!<\/strong>
