Students 'suspend' boycott at South Phila. High | Philadelphia Inquirer | 12/16/2009


Students 'suspend' boycott at South Phila. High | Philadelphia Inquirer | 12/16/2009:

"After meeting with schools Superintendent Arlene Ackerman in Chinatown last night, the 50 Asian students who have been boycotting classes at South Philadelphia High agreed to return to school starting this morning.

The 25 or so students who continued to stay out of class in response to a Dec. 3 incident on campus in which dozens of them had been beaten said last night that they were 'suspending' their boycott while awaiting action from school and district officials. (About half the boycotting students returned earlier this week.)"
