Parents Claim Students Were Verbally Abused and Bullied

Leslie Thatcher

Two local parents say they're trying to get answers from the Park City School District about a series of lectures which author Sherman Alexie gave to Park City High School students in September.  Kristen Brown and Art Brothers say that students were reportedly subjected to language that was inappropriate, even racist, and denigrated for their ski color.  While the episode is now water under the bridge, they say they want school officials to be more aware next time.  KPCW's Rick Brough Reports.

Known for getting all the facts right, as well as his distinctive sign-off, Rick covered Summit County meetings and issues for 35 years on KPCW. He now heads the Friday Film Review team.
