[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 190453, member: 35"] New Report Finds Sikh And Asian Students Suffer Increasing Harassment In NYC Schools [url]http://www.eurasiareview.com/05092013-new-report-finds-sikh-and-asian-students-suffer-increasing-harassment-in-nyc-schools/[/url] The Sikh Coalition and the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) released its third report in five years today documenting bias-based harassment of Asian American students in New York City public schools. The new report, “One Step Forward, Half a Step Back” reveals that the city’s 2008 bias-based harassment measure, Chancellor’s Regulation A-832, has not yet substantially diminished harassment faced by Asian American students in city public schools. AALDEF and The Sikh Coalition have surveyed city students to evaluate Chancellor’s Regulation A-832 since it was implemented five years ago as a response to several high-profile harassment incidents of Sikh students. On paper the city’s school bullying prevention regulation is generally strong. It provides clear guidance on defining, responding, tracking, and ultimately addressing bias-based harassment. However as today’s report and AALDEF’s and the Coalition’s 2009 survey report of students and 2011 survey report of teachers makes clear, there are significant gaps in the regulation’s implementation. “Five years after the implementation of bias-based harassment legislation in New York City, reported harassment of Asian American students remains high,” says Khin Mai Aung, Educational Equity Director at AALDEF. “Regulation A-832 is a strong step forward.

While the Regulation mandates collection of such data, it does not require its publication. “Mayor Bloomberg and the Department of Education seem to love publishing data on every aspect of city school performance with the notable exception of school bullying,” said Amardeep Singh, Program Director of The Sikh Coalition. “In this vacuum, our small community-based organizations are forced to publish survey reports to monitor the city’s compliance with its own mandates.
