From the Daily News: “The Browns said their ethnically and racially diverse neighbors in Prospect Heights have embraced them, and they thought New York was ‘the greatest place on Earth’ – until they started battling the school system.”
“Brown enrolled her sons, Sloan, 12, and J.T., 13, at Ebbets Field Middle School in Crown Heights… Sloan was beaten mercilessly, called ‘cracker’ and ‘white boy,’ and chased into traffic by his new classmates, his family said.”
“The abuse got so bad that Sloan routinely bolted out of the building to find his brother and run to a nearby subway, dodging verbal and physical attacks, he said.”
