Description

In 1996 it was learned that racial slurs and physical assaults were repeatedly directed at minority students in both elementary and secondary schools in Vermont. There were also allegations that some schools permitted a racially hostile environment to exist, and in some instances, encouraged school activities or employed curriculum materials that were derogatory to minority students.
