North Carolina ACLU Challenges Separate Assemblies for Black, Hispanics on Gang Issue
A state unit of the American Civil Liberties Union is objecting to how a middle school held separate assemblies for Black and Hispanic students to discuss the school's no-tolerance policy on gang activity.
ACLU North Carolina director Jennifer Rudinger said a more effective assembly would have gathered an entire seventh grade class to talk about the importance of respecting fellow classmates regardless of race.
The principal at Dillard Drive Middle School held assemblies at different times earlier this week after a heated argument that escalated when a Hispanic girl tried to intimidate a Black student with gang symbolism.
White students were not sent to either assembly.
Wake County school district spokesman Michael Evans said the staff knew other Black and Hispanic students witnessed the incident but did not know which ones.
