The latest one I've heard about was in Queens, NY (via Laurence at Blogging While Black):
Haitian Children Forced to Eat Like Animals
It's the kind of spat that flares thousands of times a day in schools all over the country.
But at Public School 34 in Queens Village, Assistant Principal Nancy Miller's ghastly way of handling a minor scuffle between two Haitian fourth-graders has sparked fury.
According to parents and students, Miller, who is white, chose to punish all 13 Haitian pupils in the school's only fourth-grade bilingual class - even though just two were involved in the March 16 incident.
She ordered all 13 to sit on the cafeteria floor, then made them use their fingers to eat their lunch of chicken and rice, while all the other students watched.
"In Haiti, they treat you like animals, and I will treat you the same way here," several students recalled Miller saying.

This one is a close cousin of the one about the abusive treatment of African American siblings at Tyrone Elementary School, in Pinellas County, FL.
