Last year, Asian American<\/strong> high school students were beaten by a group of African-American students at South Philadelphia High School. Now comes word of a newly reported attack on an Asian American woman<\/strong>, who has filed a lawsuit against South Phili High School for fostering a hostile atmosphere. <\/p>\n

African-American high-schoolers attacked an Asian-American mother<\/strong> because of a racially charged environment nurtured at their school, the mom’s lawsuit claims.<\/p>\n

They Tieu<\/strong> says in Pennsylvania District Court that she was “attacked and severely beaten” as she picked up her child from South Philadelphia High School, leaving her with an eye injury, cuts, bruises and “agonizing headaches.”<\/p>\n

Tieu<\/strong> says the school and its principal, LaGreta Brown, “fostered a culture where Asian-Americans<\/strong> were subjected to repeated systematic terrorization at the hands of other students in complete derogation of their civil rights.”<\/p>\n

The mom says Brown did nothing to resolve attacks on Asian-American students<\/strong> and describes the situation as a “recurrent problem.”<\/p>\n

Defendants “created an atmosphere of hostility in which Asian-American citizens were rendered helpless prey to their attackers,” her complaint alleges.<\/p>\n

Tieu<\/strong>, who accuses Brown of violating her constitutional rights and infliction of emotional distress, seeks $100,000 in damages. Brown is no longer employed by the school district.
