REFUGEES SUE SCHOOL DISTRICT, CLAIM NOT GOOD ENOUGH
'Our clients have already experienced much trauma and loss before arriving in this country'
(FOX NEWS) A group of refugees is suing a Central Pennsylvania school district, saying the academy they were put in after their arduous journey to America is not up to snuff.
Represented by the Pennsylvania branch of the American Civil Liberties Union, the six refugees sued Lancaster schools in federal court, saying they were dumped in a disciplinary school and are being denied access to a quality education. The students range in age from 17 to 21, and hail from Somalia, Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Burma.
