Minority children booted out of pool
A private swimming pool booted a camp class consisting of many minority students when they allegedly heard complaints from club members about sharing the pool with black and Hispanic children. In an ironic twist, the manager of the pool was allegedly a Barack Obama campaign manager in the state of Pennsylvania.
I’m shocked that this kind of thing still goes on. I really hoped and thought we were past this kind of gross discrimination. It’s so wrong on so many levels. Those poor kids.
The Creative Steps camp in northeast Philadelphia had paid $1,950 for 65 children to go each Monday afternoon this summer to The Valley Club in Huntingdon Valley. But after the first outing on June 29, the money was refunded with no explanation.
Camp director Alethea Wright said Thursday that while at the club, some black and Hispanic children reported hearing racial comments.
