School Students: School and Ballpark Fence

school students: Rockville High School students and parents declined to comment Thursday about the case involving a 14-year-old girl and a suspect authorities say came to the U.S. illegally from Central America, according to The Chronicle Herald. One mother would only point to the sign made of red plastic cups in a ballpark fence. Outside a Maryland high school dragged into the national immigration debate by an alleged rape, a makeshift sign reflects that strain Rockville Strong. Protesters on both sides of the debate converged on a nearby elementary school earlier Thursday during a visit by U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. The Montgomery County school system has been besieged by hundreds of racist and xenophobic calls. And the White House has weighed in, saying President Donald Trump has made a crackdown on illegal immigration a priority because of tragedies like this. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
