Ethnicity/National Origin Harassment In Schools

America is an ethnic melting pot. Yet racial hatred and prejudice still invade the school setting, manifesting as behavior learned from parents. Racial bigotry can isolate and destroy minority students, creating a hostile, intimidating and abusive educational environment that can cause great suffering, depression, academic failure and long-term illness.

Educational professionals have a duty to investigate, prevent, deter and punish this conduct, under the New Jersey Anti-Bullying Law and under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination.
