Make sure you get a good pic. My lawyer's gonna need it...
“I know it’s a pride thing between Muslims and black people,” she said. “They want their pride back for something. I don’t know.”The fights, students said, were the result of long-simmering tensions between the 8 percent of students who are of Somalian decent and the 20 percent of student who are African American.
From one of the comments
My son's experience has been great for 11 year in the Mpls. Public Schools, although in middle school, he experienced a lot of fights for the first two years. The third year, there weren't any fights, and his explanation was that most of the Somali kids weren't there anymore, and that most of the fights had been between them and the African-American kids.
So can a finger in many public schools today.
