NEW ORLEANS – As schools across American continue to grapple with the increase in “undocumented” minors who have crossed illegally into the United States, finding space isn’t the only issue.

Some of the students in New Orleans report black classmates pick on them all the time.

“They insult us and hit us,” says a G.W. Carver Preparatory Academy student named Yordan, who only speaks Spanish.

Not knowing English seems to be part of the problem, NPR reports.

“Sometimes, the black students think Spanish-speaking students are saying bad things about them, and Latino students suspect the same about their black classmates,” according to the news site.

School Principal Ben Davis says it’s just kids being kids.

“It’s a high school, and every school struggles with kids learning to get along with each other,” says Davis. “I don’t see this as some kind of racial-tension issue.”

But those incidents aren’t isolated to New Orleans.

A public school in San Diego is gripped by “fear and fights.”

“They’re actually happening every day,” a student named Jessica told ABC 10 in October about fights between blacks and Hispanics.

“They’re scared that whenever they walk down the hall, they’re going to get jumped by several people.”

It was a similar story in Baltimore.

WJZ reported last June:

Racial tensions erupt both inside and outside of Digital Harbor High School in Federal Hill over the past week. Now school officials and the police are coming together to try to put an end to the violence. Students say the feud is between African- Americans and Latinos.

“It’s like segregation. Hispanic kids stay on one side. The African-Americans stay on the other,” according to Sevi Chaplin, a student at the school. “They’ve been breaking out into fights, riots, everything else.”

Meanwhile, New Orleans teachers are just trying to deal with their new reality.

Since many of the students came from Honduras, some of the teachers traveled to the country during Christmas break on their own dime to better learn the language.

“That shows [my students] that I care about them, and they’ve responded,” algebra teacher Pete Kohn says. “They asked lots of questions: ‘What did you see? Did you eat this, did you see this?'”

He adds, “My day-to-day goal is to make sure that no matter where they end up they have more skills than they came here with, and make sure they felt like they were with people who cared about them.”
