Six refugees are suing a Pennsylvania school district, claiming they were dumped in a disciplinary school and are being denied access to a quality education.
The students, who range in age from 17 to 21, are from Somalia, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burma.
They had hoped to enter McCaskey High School in Lancaster, Pa., but were sent to Phoenix Academy, an alternative high school for “underachieving” students in the district.
The refugee students, who are being represented by the Pennsylvania branch of the American Civil Liberties Union, also claim to have been “traumatized” by security measures at Phoenix Academy, including pat-downs and property searches.
“[The] Plaintiffs are refugees who have fled war, violence, and persecution from their native countries,” the lawsuit says. “Having finally escaped their turbulent environment to resettle in America, these young immigrants yearn to learn English and get an education so they can make a life for themselves.”
“Our clients have already experienced much trauma and loss before arriving in this country,” Reggie Shuford, executive director of the ACLU of Pennsylvania, said in a statement. “Rather than helping them make the difficult adjustment by providing educational resources required by law, the school district has denied them an education completely or forced them into an alternative school, where they are often bullied and don’t learn.”
Somali refugee Qasim Hassan told the court through an interpreter, “I did not find the school that I deserved,” PennLive reported.
Hassan and his fellow plaintiffs are seeking an injunction that would allow them to transfer to and possibly graduate from McCaskey High School.
Meanwhile, the school district claims that Phoenix Academy is better suited to the needs of older refugee students than the larger and more traditional McCaskey High School.
No, what you “deserve” is to have your sorry asses kicked onto a deportation barge! Go back to your own hell hole instead of trying to turn our country into one like yours!
What these ‘rag-head MFer’s’ want is access to our daughters, like they get in Northern Europe. Salt-peter should be liberally applied on every FREE meal they get.
along with copius amounts of warfarin!!!!!!!!!!1
That’s ok. American kids can’t find the schools they deserve either. It’s just that they and their parents don’t know any better.
Welcome to America you foreign f@#ktards. Best stay out of my scope range.
“… claiming they were dumped in a disciplinary school and are being denied access to a quality education.”
RETARDS!!! NO ONE GETS A QUALITY EDUCATION IN THIS COUNTRY UNLESS THEY’RE HOMESCHOOLED! SO GO HOME FOR ONE!!!
“[The] Plaintiffs are refugees who have fled war, violence, and persecution from their native countries,”
That sound traumatic!
“… claim to have been “traumatized” by security measures at Phoenix Academy, including pat-downs and property searches.”
wow… that sounds FAR more traumatic than being shot at and having bombs blown up around you.
Take your worthless, whiny @sses back to wherever the hell you came from. We have more than enough STUPID people in this country already, go reinfect yours!
Don’t you think they’d be grateful for any type of school, being that they were brought here and out of harms way. They really should go back to were they came from being the american people did not invite them here. Only a few secretive personal brought them here( in the midle of the night on ups flights). Don’t come here to run our country.
See how sick this country is? Stand by, it is only starting. It would be interesting to know how this law suit got started. These scum immigrants can’t even speak English, so how could they know enough to get an attorney? Did the ACLU go gutter trolling?
They claim to have been “traumatized” by security measures at Phoenix Academy, including pat-downs and property searches. Can’t wait to hear how they feel when they go through a TSA check at the local airport, I felt like I was date raped, does it do me any good to complain?
THE GOVERNMENT WILL ARM AND TRAIN THEM TO RAPE YOUR CHILDREN AND KILL YOU AMERICAN NATIONAL……….. THATS ALL THE EDUCATION THEY NEED……………
Bahahahahhahahahahahaha! ROLMFAO! Now I’ve heard everything. Send these bastard refugees packing. We never asked for them to be here nor do we want them.
