The PHILADELPHIA BLACK PUBLIC ISSUES FORUM began in honor of the late
fr. Paul M. Washington, former rector of the Church of the Advocate at
18th and fr. Paul M. Washington Avenue in North Philadelphia.  The
Forum, like Father Washington, is a provider and legitimizer of public
space for the free expression of dissident Black voices on public
issues central to our communities.  The Forum's purpose is to provide
a public space and an opportunity to be heard to Black persons and
groups who bring non-traditional approaches to ways of thinking and
organizing focused on solving pressing community problems. Proud

PRESS RELEASE

National Action Network to Rally with High School Students and Parents
Against Beating and Abuse of Students by School District Police


Philadelphia, PA (December 11, 2009)The Philadelphia Chapter of the National Action Network at the request of students and parents will lead a Rally in protest of the brutal beating of public school students by school district police.
Confirmed school police involvement in the egregious civil rights violation of the students at Frankford, Olney and Northeast High Schools has been confirmed and it alleged to be a reoccurring problem that has been ignored by the brass of the district.

Consequently, at the request of parents from each of these schools the National Action Network has initiated an investigation into the brutal beating of Frankford High student, Jeffione Thomas, the denial of classroom education since November 4th, 2009 of Northeast High student, Evelyn Cruel and a host of Olney High School students regarding the "boxing glove beating" of students by a school District Police officer known as "Sarge".
This man takes students into a closed room where he brutally beats them with boxing gloves on to protect his hands from the evidence of the applied beatings of students. "The School District is out of control, who is protecting our children"?

The Rally will be held on Monday, December 14, 2009 at Frankford High School, 5000 Oxford Avenue at 3:00 PM.
National Action Network has sent a Letter to School Superintendent, Dr. Arlene Ackerman requesting for a private investigator be retained to interview student and faculty witnesses regarding the incidents.
Greg Brinkley, President of Philly NAN stated, "We want these police officers immediately removed from any further contact with all school district children.
Further, we will be seeking the Department of Human Services (DHS) Child Abuse Division to conduct an official investigation of these incidents for possible abuse of school children by school police."

Philadelphia National Action Network is dedicated to fighting injustice wherever its ugly head surfaces, in Philadelphia it is the protection of school children.
