Issues such as racial tension, parent involvement and campus security were among those discussed by the more than 150 parents who attended a meeting at Hoover High while a dozen students and community leaders met at City Hall for a televised forum. ``I know that you are all here because you are scared or worried about your son or daughter,'' Hoover High Co-Principal Pamela Good told parents at the late afternoon meeting. ``We need to work as a community to address the hate and prejudice that is in our community.'' Though pamphlets discussing ways to reduce discrimination and prejudice were distributed to parents, some speculated that the killing of 17-year-old Raul Aguirre last Friday was a result of gang violence, not ethnic tension. That sentiment was echoed at the City Hall forum, which was televised on Channel 6, and hosted by City Councilmen Rafi Manoukian Rafi Manoukian is a former member of the city council in Glendale, California. He was recently notified that he has been selected by the Board of Directors and the Selection Committee of the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations (NECO) as a recipient of the 2006 Ellis Island and Gus Gomez. ``There is no animosity between the Armenians and Latinos,'' said Sia Nazari, a senior at Hoover High School. ``We're just disgusted that this happened.'' Authorities said Aguirre was stabbed twice in the chest and twice in the back and was bludgeoned by a crowbar last week when he attempted to intervene intervene v. to obtain the court's permission to enter into a lawsuit which has already started between other parties and to file a complaint stating the basis for a claim in the existing lawsuit. in a fight that had erupted between rival gang members of Latino and Armenian affiliation. Parents and students speculated that the death may not have happened if there was more campus security. Police officials have dismissed that notion, but since the killing, security has been beefed up at the school. Campus violence can only be prevented when educators and parents of all racial backgrounds work together to ``bridge the gap,'' said Levon Jernazian, a clinical pyschologist who moderated the parent's meeting. ``We can all think of our own personal responsibility. The question that I ask myself is waht can I do, not what can others do,'' said Jernazian, who was flanked by Armenian and Spanish Spanish, river, c.150 mi (240 km) long, issuing from Spanish Lake, S Ont., Canada, NW of Sudbury, and flowing generally S through Biskotasi and Agnew lakes to Lake Huron opposite Manitoulin island.

The meeting, which included discussion of the pain and frustration parents are feeling, went a long way to ``calm the parents down,'' said Vergineh Keshishian, a parent of a junior Hoover High. Keshishian attends regular workshops at the school for parents but said she had never seen so many Armenian and Latino parents meeting together to discuss the issues of ethnic tensions. Norberto Martinez, whose son attends Hoover High, walked away disappointed, saying that the problems still exist. ``Psychology isn't going to work. We need to hear solutions,'' said Martinez, 38. ``The next one could be your son. Now is the time to change.'' Yeran Oganyan, who has two sons at Hoover, said she hopes there will be more meetings for parents to discuss ways to increase awareness between cultures. She has been destraught over the stabbing. ``What happened to Raul, I feel like it was my child,'' she said. ``I never saw him but in my heart, I'm never going to forget this.'' |
