ifty Asian American students were attacked on and around their South Philadelphia High School campus. Thirty of them sustained injuries serious enough to warrant a hospital visit. These Asian American stu-dents were targeted, and school officials had ignored their complaints of bully-ing and pleas for protection for year
This part is shocking because it describes not just bullying, but a large-scale, violent attack that sent students to the hospital. It’s disturbing that something so serious could happen on a school campus. It also makes me think about how violence can be targeted and ignored when it involves certain racial groups.
