Black educators working to keep violence out of schools - Sun Sentinel: In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy, educators in African-American and Haitian-American communities are trying to calm ethnic tensions to make sure gunplay doesn't overflow into some of the county's most at-risk academic centers.
"I don't want the same thing that happened in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, to happen in Palm Beach County," said Ronald Leonard, a retired Palm Beach County educator and leader of the Black Educators Caucus. "The tension is bubbling between these two groups — this is a preventative measure, what we don't want is the violence in our community to spill over into our schools."
