Kimberly B. Cheney (ed). In 1996 it was learned that racial slurs & physical assaults were repeatedly directed at minority students in both elementary & secondary schools in Vermont. There were also allegations that some schools permitted a racially hostile environment to exist, & in some instances, encouraged school activities or employed curriculum materials that were derogatory to minority students. Information was collected regarding these & other incidents from State & Federal officials, school officials & teachers, community leaders, parents, & students. 36 panelists offered their views of racial harassment in the public schools, many describing the public schools as unfriendly & hostile to minority students.
