| 'Not the school I deserved': Refugee students take stand in lawsuit against Lancaster schools |
| 2016-08-21 |
| EASTON -- At 5 years of age, Khadidja Issa fled the heat and civil war of Sudan with her family. She spent the next decade of her life in a Chadian refugee camp before emigrating to Lancaster, Pennsylvania in September of 2015. "We came to get a better education," she told a federal court here on Tuesday. But a lawsuit filed against Lancaster's public school district by Issa and 5 fellow refugee students claims district officials there denied her that opportunity, systematically stalling and stymieing enrollment for older refugee students like them, or placing them into an inferior alternative school described by their attorneys as an educational "dead-end." ... Qassim Hassan, a Somali refugee whose father was killed by militiamen in that country, said of the security procedures in place at Phoenix Academy: "It makes me hate the school and hate the system. It makes me feel bad." Speaking through an interpreter, he said of his experience there: "I did not find the school that I deserved." |

| #1 Your new school has a flushing toilet. That is a big improvement over the Moslem school you used to attend. And if you need an interpreter, can you read the textbooks in your new school ? Good luck on assimilating, sweety. If you work hard you may fit in in about three generations or so. But you are definitely going to have to work for it. Your dreams don't match reality ? That's tragic. Eat your hamburger. |
