SEU Baseball Earns Trip To World Series

Eight extra-base hits, plus six Fire pitchers, helped Southeastern sweep through the Lincoln bracket, earning their way to an NAIA World Series bid in Lewiston, Idaho after defeating USAO for the second time this week, this time by a score of 11-2. The Fire stayed true to their scoring ways, putting up two in the first inning, to the beat of a pair of RBI doubles from Gary Lora and Alfonso…

Jazz + Weltmusik befreien und versöhnen

Sie nennen es Kritische Hoffnung: So viel leere Hoffnung wurde uns von den Religionen verabreicht, um uns ruhig zu stellen und zu Gebeten anzuleiten, aber es braucht reale Begegnungen und Zusammenarbeit, um die Verhältnisse zu ändern: Viele ReGierungen sind im Drogen- und Waffenhandel, in Handelskriegen um Rohstoffe, und Land und uns. Hinter dieser Musik steht die Erfahrung von Umsiedlungen, Rassenkrieg und Versöhnungsarbeit in den Communities, Nachbarschaften, Quartieren ... Critical: Hope. Weltpremiere.

Malcolm Jiyane (piano/trombone) aus Johannesburg, Asher Gamedze (piano, drums) aus Kapstadt, Simon-Mary Vincent (piano) aus Budapest am 27.01.2024 – 20 Uhr im Theater im Fraunhofer in München! Diese von der Sophiatown Arts Akademy, dem Sophiatown Arts Festival, dem Haus Steingraeber und der Universität Bayreuth ermöglichte Künstler:innen-Begegnung bringt Ausnahmemusiker:innen des Jazz und der politischen Gegenwartsmusik zusammen. Hingehen! Berauscht sein! Denken, handeln! Ein vielsprachiges Event gegen die Misere der Gegenwart, kuratiert von @SophiatownArtsAkademy Johannesburg. Im Rahmen ihrer Artist Residency haben sich die Künstler:innen mit dem Thema “Critical: Hope!” auseinandergesetzt: Hoffnung, verstanden nicht als naiver Wunsch, sondern als politische Analyse von Gegenwart und radikal gerechter Zukunftsentwurf. “The here and now is a prison house. We must strive, in the face of the here and now’s totalising rendering of reality, to think and feel a then and there.” José Esteban Muñoz, Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity Hingehen! Berauscht sein! Denken, handeln! Ein vielsprachiges Event gegen die Misere der Gegenwart, kuratiert von @SophiatownArtsAkademy Johannesburg. Kritische Hoffnung https://fairmuenchen.eineweltnetz.org/?p=20696220&preview=true Universum hieß es früher, nun denken wir in der globalen Welt weiter, was auch vor der Kolonialisierung an anderen Denkweisen und Kulturen, Gemeinschafts-Ordnungen und Religionen existierte, was Anthropologen wie David Graeber und David Wengrow in Anfänge beschreiben  

Wissenschaftsjournalist Wolfgang Chr. Goede berichtet im Gespräch mit Lora-Moderator Fritz Letsch aus seinem pluriversalen Leben in Kolumbien. WO sich Global-Nord und Global-Süd überlagern, von schnellsten Internets und virtueller Wirtschaft bis zu Garcia Marquez magischem Realismus und dem, in Stadt und Land, anzutreffenden Zauber und Hexenglauben. WIE entstand in den indigenen Gesellschaften Lateinamerikas der Pluriversalismus – Einheit von materieller Welt und Natur als ein Lebewesen? WAS ist das daraus erwachsende „Gute Leben“-Prinzip? WARUM ist es heute im Zuge der Dekolonisierung wieder aktuell? WORIN verbinden sich Pluriversalismus mit der modernen Astrophysik von Quantenwelt und Multiversum? WO begegnen sich Global Nord/Euro-Zentrismus und Global Süd – WIE könnten Brücken aussehen? Aktuelles Beispiel ist, wie Kogi Indigene aus der karibischen Bergwelt Kolumbiens den Schweizer Umweltschutz und Politik beim Naturmanagement und Renaturierung der Rhône beraten. Text, Link, Video aus der Pressemitteilung (französisch) » „Als Hüter des Wissens der Vorfahren pflegen diese Menschen eine Verbindung zur Natur, die sie als Lebewesen betrachten. Das Verständnis der Dynamik unseres Territoriums ist für dessen Erhaltung und Widerstandsfähigkeit von wesentlicher Bedeutung.“ https://www.lemanbleu.ch/fr/Actualites/Geneve/Une-delegation-kogi-ouvre-le-dialogue-sur-notre-gestion-du-territoire.html: Diese Woche durchquerte eine Delegation der Kogi, eines indigenen kolumbianischen Volkes, die Rhône von ihrer Quelle bis nach Genf. Ziel ihres Besuchs ist es, einen Dialog über unsere Bewirtschaftung des Territoriums und der natürlichen Ressourcen zu eröffnen. Sie wurden heute nachmittag im Palais Eynard empfangen. Der Dialog zwischen dem Volk der Kogi und der Stadt Genf ist eröffnet. Heute Nachmittag empfing Bürgermeister Alfonso Gomez eine Kogi-Delegation im Palais Eynard. Ihr Gouverneur, Arregoces Conchakala, konnte ihre Empfehlung nach einer Woche entlang der Rhône übermitteln. Die Magie der Szene Ein Bild einer Situation aufzustellen, gibt neue Bedeutung und Deutung: Die Magie der Szene kennt jede Bühne in aller Welt: Einen Raum als besonderen besetzen, an dem sich besonderes ereignet, aus der Gegenwart gerissen, als Erzählung alter Zeit oder Probe auf die Wirklichkeit Die Magie der Szene besteht zumindest aus Abstand, Richtung und Haltung der Personen zu einander, oft entsteht in den stellvertretenden Personen sogar ein Satz, der in den Ursprungs-Verhältnissen geläufig war. Jede wiederholbare Aufstellung einer Szene bewirkt im Publikum eine Erinnerung an eigenes Erleben: Solche Szenen in Familie, Schule, Beruf, Betrieb und Einrichtung, in Filmen und anderen Aufstellungen und Theater-Erlebnissen: „Michel Foucault hat die These geprägt, dass nach dem Niedergang einer starken Idee der Geschichte, der „großen Obsession des 19. Jahrhunderts“, „die aktuelle Epoche eher die Epoche des Raumes“ wäre (Foucault 1990, 34). … Wenn sich, wie Foucault nahe legt, zentrale Konflikte der Sozial- und Kulturphilosophie „zwischen den anhänglichen Nachfahren der Zeit und den hartnäckigen Bewohnern des Raumes abspielen“ (Foucault 1990, 34), https://www.academia.edu/10099208/Der_geffnete_Raum_Zur_Politik_der_sthetischen_Form Bewegung im Raum, statt Besitz des Raumes Die Oligarchen des Kapitals zeigen uns, wo sie ihre Zukunft sehen: Außerhalb der Staaten, zwischen den Häfen der Meere und den Flughäfen der Metropolen, auf Luxus-Yachten und in Privatjets, … umgeben von den alten Werken der Kunst, die auf den Märkten zugeliefert werden. **KUNST IST MAGIE, BEFREIT VON DER LÜGE, WAHRHEIT ZU SEIN - T.W ADORNO** Magicversa: Die Welten der Kräfte und Magie in den Kulturen und Regionen der Welt, alles in Schwingungen der Farben, Kunst, Musik und Theater: Zauber im Pluriversum der Kulturen! Heilsame Orte finden

Alles, was bisher als heilig und gemeinschaftlich, als heilsam und öffentlich galt, hat Spuren von einem tieferen Bewusstsein, das uns oft nicht mehr leicht zugänglich ist. Geomantie, das Wissen um die gesunden und kräftigen Orte, um die beste Anordnung von Häusern, Einrichtung und Zuordnung wie Feng Shui, kann in’s Bewusstsein kommen, aber auch in das gemeinschaftliche Unbewusste, in das wir alle kritischen und schwierigen Themen verschieben wollen, wie Krankheiten, Krieg, Streit, Sterben … Aktuell gab es neue Forschungen, die eine gesunde Ausstrahlung viel besuchter Orte und sogar von Friedhöfen nachgewiesen haben, denn unser Biom lebt vom gesunden Austausch, die Depression oft von der Abtrennung.   DIE GEISTER VERSAMMELN 68 Jahre nach Beginn der Zwangsumsiedlungen am 9. Februar 1955: Gathering the Ghosts ist das diesjährige Thema des Sophiatown Arts Festival, einem einzigartigen, von der Community kuratierten Festival – veranstaltet im Sophiatown „The Mix“ 10. – 12. Februar 2023 Für 2023 bitten wir alle unsere Mitwirkenden, sich mit den Ghosts of Sophiatown zu verbinden, ihnen zuzuhören und gemeinsam etwas zu erschaffen. Begleiten Sie uns, während wir uns mit der Schönheit dieses einzigartigen Vororts, seinem Jazz, seiner Literatur und seinem Stil auseinandersetzen, um aktuelle Themen rund um Ausgrenzung, Zugang und Chancen zu verdeutlichen. Das jährliche Sophiatown Arts Festival ist für alle kostenlos. An drei Tagen werden wir mit Ihnen präsent sein: Ausstellungen, Konzerte, Kinderworkshops, Dokumentarfilme, Vintage-Modenschauen und mehr. Und es geht nicht nur darum, drei Tage lang in einer Gemeinschaft mit Geistern zu sein: Es geht darum, eine Gemeinschaft für die Zukunft aufzubauen.

[10point-must]

Biggest Fights Occurring in South America?

I have no idea, but here is my list - let me know what I missed.

5. Miguel Lora UD Alberto Davila, November 15, 1986, Baranquilla, Colombia

Undefeated Colombian Miguel “Happy” Lora beat Alberto Davila in the third defense of his WBC bantamweight title. Davila, a former WBC world title holder himself, was 53-7 going into the fight and had not lost since 1980. 50,000 people watched this massive fight and were not disappointed as Lora won by a wide decision in an entertaining bout.

The two would square off a second time in the US two years later, but Lora would win easily on the score cards again.

4. Eder Jofre KO Bernardo Caraballo, November 27, 1964, Bogota, Colombia

46-0-3 WBC and WBA bantamweight title holder Eder Jofre of Brazil fought 39-0-1 Colombian legend Bernardo Caraballo in front of 32,000 in Bogota. Caraballo was the first Colombian to compete for a world title. However, Jofre would knock out Caraballo in the 7th round.

Caraballo would fight until 1977, finishing his career 76-19-5, and a beloved figure in Columbia. The uncontacted Carabayo tribe was named after him, as was the Coliseo Bernardo Caraballo in Cartagena.

Jofre would finish his career 72-2-4 and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Ring Magazine ranked him the 19th greatest fighter of the last 80 years in 2002, and their 85th hardest puncher.

full fight here:

3. Locche - Cervantes I & II

(a) Nicolino Locche UD Antonio Cervantes, December 11, 1971, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Argentine defensive master Nicoline Locche beat Colombian Antonio “Kid Pambele” Cervantes by UD  in Estadio Luna Park for the WBA super-lightweight title.

(b) Antonio Cervantes RTD Nicolino Locche, March 17, 1973, Maracay, Venezuela

They would rematch two years later, after Locche had lost the belt to Alfonso Fraser and then Cervantes took the belt from him. They met in Maracay Venezuela and Locche was stopped on a cut after the 9th round (inflicted by Cervantes earlier in the fight). Cervantes was up on all three score cards at the time.  

Locche would take two years off after the fight. He would return in 1975 and win 7 more fights before retiring in 1976. He finished his career 117-4 and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2003.

In total, Cervantes defended his belt 16 times before losing to Wilfredo Benitez in 1976. He was named in Ring Magazine’s 80 Best Fighters in the Last 80 years in 2002. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1988 and the Colombian boxing federation named him the Colombian Fighter of the Century.

2. Sergio Martinez UD Martin Murray, April 27, 2013, Buenos Aires, Argentina

WBC Middleweight champion (and ranked #4 pound-for-pound in the world) Sergio Martinez beat previously undefeated Martin Murray in a very close UD on a rainy night in Buenos Aires in front of 40,000 fans at Club Atletico Velez Sarsfield. Full fight here.

It was the great Martinez’s last win. He would lose in an upset to Miguel Cotto 14 months later and retire. Martin Murray is still active and has gone 13-4 since this fight, scoring his best wins against Gabe Rosado and Max Bursak, and losing to a list of formidable opponents - Gennady Golovkin, Arthur Abraham, George Groves and Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam.

1. Carlos Monzon TKO Emile Griffith September 25, 1971, Buenos Aires, Argentina

WBC and WBA Middleweight champion Carlos Monzon stopped all-time great Emile Griffith at Estadio Luna Park in front of 23,000. Both fighters entered the fight with staggering records - Monzon at 72-3-9 and Griffith at 70-11.

The bout was stopped at 2:46 of the 14th round, with all three judges having Monzon comfortably ahead at the time of the stoppage. They would fight a second time in 1973 in Monaco - Monzon would again win, this time by UD.

Fight highlights here:

Monzon would finish his career 87-3-9, and is considered among the best boxers of all-time. He was chosen by Ring Magazine as the 11th greatest fighter of the last 80 years in 2002, and ranks as the best middleweight of all time. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990. Monzon was an Argentine icon and paparazzi magnet before domestic violence - and his eventual murder of his wife - led to a prison sentence and deserved fall from grace.

Emile Griffith finished his career 92-24-2. He was voted the fighter of the year in 1963 and 1964, and was a world champion in three weight classes. He was listed as #33 on Ring Magazine’s 2002 Best 80 Fighters of the Last 80 Years. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990.

Respect box.

003. GET UP CLOSE & PERSONAL

HEIGHT: 5′6″ or 168 cm. WEIGHT: between 123 lbs or 55 kg and 129 lbs or 58.5 kg. BODY BUILD: two or three years ago, lorena was a rather slim girl with no accentuated curves and, pretty much, your classical supermodel shape. she has, since, put on some weight, not because she wished to do so but because her body seems to have gone through some changes. she’s still slim, she doesn’t have a particularly big bust - 32B - and she still has her toned tummy but her waist is now more accentuated and her thighs and bum have definitely grown considerably ever since.  EYE COLOR: brown, sometimes appearing to be deep brown, others appearing to be hazel, almost a green shade. EYESIGHT: she has myopia so she wears contacts on a daily basis. when she’s trying to rest her eyes and give it some away time from the contacts, she wears her glasses. HAIR COLOR & STYLE: she has dark brown, nearly black hair and she has never really bothered changing colors or messing with dyes of sorts because she’s scared to damage her hair. she doesn’t get wild with the styles either - generally, she wears her hair down and allows its natural wavy texture to shine through. if she’s meeting with clients, she’ll either straighten it or throw it in a sleek bun or updo. at home, when she’s just chilling, she sometimes throws it in a ponytail or wears it half up, half down. DOMINANT HAND: right. NOTABLE PHYSICAL TRAITS: her eyes, particularly their shape and specific shade of brown that sometimes can trick you into thinking they’re green. her pouty lips that she hated when she was a child but has since grown to love. her dark hair and her skin tone, how tan she naturally is which always ends up being brought up to attention.  SCARS AND MARKS: besides the occasional scar and mark that we all get, there’s nothing in particular. TATTOOS: she has a wunjo tattoo behind her right ear, a greek symbol, the rune, meant to symbolize joy and happiness. she has a micro, minimalistic lotus flower with watercolor — reference — tattooed on the inside of her left wrist, meant to represent that regardless of the toxicity and negativity that might surround her at times, she will always stay graceful and be as kind as she can be. along the outer side of her right foot, she has gotten the quote a menos que los dejes, something her older brother, xabier, used to tell her whenever she went to him, crying about the people putting her down and trying to demean her ; essentially, it’s a reminder that no one can bring her down unless she lets them. along the side, extending from her right hipbone to her bum, she has the quote those who fan your flames in cursive and white ink. lastly, on the back of her neck, she has the word headstrong in bold, uppercase font. PIERCINGS: she has her regular lobes pierced. VOICECLAIM: cindy kimberly. ACCENT & INTENSITY: between the years in england and the time in new york, lorena has almost completely lost her accent. when she’s speaking spanish, you can tell she’s a native, but when she switches to english, that fades away and you can’t decipher whether english is or isn’t her primary language. ALLERGIES: none that she’s aware of. PHOBIAS & FEARS: though she would never admit it and would say she has no fears, solitude. MENTAL & PHYSICAL ILLNESSES: none so far. ALCOHOL USE: sometimes. SMOKING: no, she doesn’t smoke. NARCOTICS USE: she used to do weed when she needed to unwind but she hasn’t done it for a while. INDULGENT FOOD: sometimes, when she’s stressed out mainly.

Libros galardonados en el Premio Fundación Cuatrogatos 2020

La Fundación Cuatrogatos, una organización sin fines de lucro creada en Miami por los escritores Sergio Andricaín y Antonio Orlando Rodríguez para trabajar a favor de la cultura y la educación, selecciona cada año los veinte mejores títulos publicados el año interior en lengua española por editoriales de Iberoamérica y Estados Unidos. Su objetivo es contribuir a la difusión y la lectura de libros de alta calidad creados por escritores e ilustradores iberoamericanos.

Cada año, después de leer, analizar y discutir una amplia y representativa muestra de libros de ficción, provenientes de pequeñas y grandes editoriales de cualquier país del mundo, un comité realiza la selección de los títulos ganadores. En esta ocasión se tomaron en cuenta alrededor de 1500 libros publicados por 171 editoriales de 20 países. En la edición de 2020, los veinte libros ganadores provienen de diecinueve editoriales con sede en siete países. Cuatro de las editoriales ganadoras reciben el galardón por primera vez.

Las veinte obras ganadoras tienen notables valores literarios y plásticos que, a juicio de los organizadores, merecen tener la mayor difusión. Al otorgarles este reconocimiento, Cuatrogatos quiere contribuir a que lleguen al mayor número posible de hogares, escuelas, bibliotecas y otros espacios donde se propicia el encuentro de los jóvenes lectores con los libros.

Los premios fueron escogidos por un equipo de profesionales de formación multidisciplinaria que buscó calidad estética y propuestas inteligentes, que diviertan, que conmuevan, que inquieten, que hagan pensar. Los encargados de realizar la selección destacaron libros que les gustaría que otras muchas personas pudieran conocer, leer y recomendar.

La imagen gráfica que identifica el premio de este año fue creada por el argentino Diego Bianki.

A Mom Was Allegedly Beaten By Her Sons 13-Year-Old Bully Who Said “Mexicans Should Go Back Behind The Wall”

The boy had allegedly threatened to beat up her son the day before after he responded to the chant, “We all come from immigrants.”

A New Jersey mom was beaten unconscious last week by a 13-year-old boy who had shouted racist chants at her 12-year-old son the day before, her lawyer told BuzzFeed News.

Beronica Ruiz, 35, suffered a concussion and facial fractures after the boy allegedly punched her in the face and threw her to the ground just blocks away from Passaic Gifted and Talented Academy School No. 20, where both boys are students.

The 13-year-old, who is not being named due to being a minor, had allegedly chanted “Mexicans should go back behind the wall” at Ruiz’s son along with a few other boys in the cafeteria on June 18th.

Her son, who is also not being named, responded to them, “We all come from immigrants,” lawyer Daniel Santiago said.

“But that angered the other boys,” Santiago said. “The boys were threatening him, saying they’d beat him up.”

Fearing for his safety, the 12-year-old pulled a teacher aside, and he was sequestered in an office or classroom to keep him away from the boys, Santiago said.

Ruiz didn’t find out any of this until her son came home and told her he was scared to go to school the next day. She was livid that she hadn’t been alerted to the bullying incident. According to Santiago, the assistant vice principal of the school said he’d simply forgot to call her.

“He essentially said my bad, my mistake,” Santiago said.

Ruiz picked her son up from school the day after the cafeteria incident, walking him home along with her 1-year-old daughter, who she pushed in a stroller.

Just a few blocks away from the school, the boy told his mom that three of the boys who’d threatened him were following them.

One of the boys, the 13-year-old, then approached the family and punched Ruiz’s son in the face, the lawyer said.

“Then, as any mother would, after [he] was knocked down, Beronica got between the assailant and her son, trying to stop the attack,” Santiago said. “And the young boy punched Beronica in the face and threw her to the ground.”

Ruiz’s “head cracked against the sidewalk” and she lost consciousness, Santiago said.

The 13-year-old boy fled the scene and “left her for dead,” he said, adding that the other two boys were not involved in the physical attack and unsuccessfully tried to stop it from happening.

Ruiz was hospitalized for two days. When her son returned to school, he found that the boy who attacked her was still in classes and had apparently not been punished.

When the 12-year-old’s father, Alfonso Vasquez, asked school administrators why the assailant had not been reprimanded, their response was “Well, he has the same right to an education as your son does,” Santiago said.

At that point, the family reached out to Passaic Mayor Hector Lora, who contacted the school.

“It was only after the mayor got involved that the school suspended the child,” Santiago said.

In a statement to NJ.com, Lora said he is “outraged over this incident” and taking it “extremely seriously.”

“The details regarding what led up to this incident remain under investigation,” Lora said. “However, one thing is very clear: what occurred to this mother is unacceptable and whatever we need to do as a city, as a community, to do better by our families and our children, we will do.”

After Santiago shared the story with the media, the school offered to pay the medical bills for Ruiz, who Santiago said does not have health insurance.

School administrators did not respond to a request for comment from BuzzFeed News.

The 13-year-old was charged as a juvenile with aggravated assault and simple assault. He was released to his parents and will appear in family court, according to the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office.

The family is now planning a lawsuit against the school and possibly the city, with Santiago saying “clearly there was negligence.”

The 12-year-old is still “terrified” and not sleeping well, giving the family some tough decisions to make about whether he will return to the school, which Santiago noted is for gifted children.

“His father is a landscaper, his mother is a homemaker. Economically, they can’t just send their kid to a private school,” Santiago said. “This school was supposed to provide an opportunity, and now they’re faced with the untenable decision of whether to pull their child out of a school where he doesn’t feel safe.”

“It’s a very tragic situation, and one that they shouldn’t have to face,” he said.

Ruiz and her husband, who are from Mexico, are living in the US on work permits and have gone for their green card interviews, Santiago said. Their three children are all American citizens.

Santiago said it’s “hard to get into the mind of any individual, let alone a child,” when considering what drove the 13-year-old to do this, but said it “clearly starts at home.”

“I don’t know that a child is able to fully understand and comprehend the implications of his words and saying things ‘you should go back to Mexico,'” Santiago said. “But this was clearly generated from hatred, and clearly this young man has a great deal of anger in his heart, and that’s sad for a whole other list of reasons.”

“It does not help that adults that are in authority and have voices use those voices to spread rhetoric that is racially divisive and ethnically charged — that doesn’t help,” he added.

Good Morning from Scotland

The beauty of Assynt by Alfonso Salgueiro Lora Via Flickr: I went on a short trip to Assynt, in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland and came back very impressed with the beauty of this place. We had very bright and warm weather over the entire weekend and had to resort to early morning or late evening light to avoid the harsh conditions during the day. I did not expect this kind of weather in Scotland and actually came back with a tan!!!! Just as well I can show the images I made so everyone can believe I didn't go to the beach instead. We went for sunrise along Loch Lurgainn to get the views of the lit mountains behind and it proved to be a magical morning. Website ⎢Facebook

New Jersey mom beaten unconscious by school bully who threatened her son, prosecutors say

PASSAIC, N.J. — A 13-year-old boy was arrested after allegedly assaulting a mother and her son in New Jersey last week.

It happened on June 19 after 3 p.m. on Lexington Avenue near Monroe Street in Passaic.

Beronica Ruiz was pushing her 1-year-old in a stroller, walking home from school with her 12-year-old and 8-year-old sons when they realized they were being followed by a group of three boys.

“My life changed in one second,” said Ruiz, “Because now I don’t feel safe in any place.”

Her right eye is bloodshot. Her eye socket, fractured and bruised, after a punch to the face by an alleged bully who first targeted her 12-year-old son.

Ruiz suffered a concussion and can’t remember the attack. But her children witnessed it all.

“She was unconscious with my baby in the stroller,” said Alfonso Vasquez, Ruiz’s husband. Their 12-year-old son was also struck in the face.

The attack stemmed from an argument on June 18 in the lunchroom at Passaic Gifted and Talented Academy Public School No. 20.

“These kid were telling the Mexicans that all the Mexicans should be behind the wall,” said Vasquez. “My son told them what are you talking about? We are all immigrants.”

His son was allegedly threatened with violence and sought help from a teacher.

He was then placed in a separate room or an office for the rest of the school day for his own protection, according to WPIX. His parents went to talk to school administrators, who did not call Ruiz and her husband about the incident in school that day. Ruiz and Vasquez say the vice principal apologized to them for not notifying them about the incident but stated the situation was under control.

Ruiz said she and her son were attacked later that day.

While she was in the hospital, the alleged bully was still allowed to attend school, according to the family.

“We send our kids to school with the intention they will be safe,” said the family’s attorney, Daniel Santiago. “What’s appalling about that is the school was aware of the incident.”

The 13-year-old alleged attacker has been charged with assault and released to his parents, but the family feels this was more than just a simple assault – it was a hate crime.

“Because this all started because of those words,” said Vasquez. “They hate us because we are Mexican.”

The Passaic County Prosecutors Office is handling the investigation.

“This is the face of racism. This is the face of hatred in America,” said Santiago.

A spokesman for the school district said they can’t comment on student matters.

Passaic mayor, Hector C. Lora told WPIX in a statement that he has met with local authorities and the school administration:

“As both a father and a husband I am outraged over this incident as Mayor these are things you wish would never occur in your city or anywhere. This incident is being taken extremely seriously I have met with and spoken personally with the family, I have met with my Chief of Police, local officials and school administration as well as board members to make sure there is accountability and that this family receives justice as well as any help and resources we can provide. The details regarding what led up to this incident remain under investigation however one thing is very clear what occurred to this mother is unacceptable and whatever we need to do as a city, as a community to do better by our families and our children we will do.”
