Emails between school officials at one Canadian high school reveal the school has been struggling to integrate into the school adult Syrian refugees, who reportedly are bullying and threatening students and teachers, as well as making advances on young teenage girls.
One email from the head of the school’s international students department expressed concern that the Brussels attack would have a “trickle down” effect on the refugee students.
After receiving a tip about Fredericton High School in New Brunswick, Canada — a region that has been aggressively resettling thousands of Syrian refugees — Canadian news organization TheRebel submitted a freedom of information request to the school, asking for any information regarding problems the school might be having with the integration of Syrian immigrants.
The Rebel received more than 2,700 documents from the school in response to their request. Because of the sheer number of emails, the organization is breaking the story up into several reports this week on their show “The Hunt” with reporter Faith Goldy.
One email, Goldy reported on Monday, said that 19 and 20-year-old Syrian migrants were aggressively confronting teachers, “particularly when it comes to the girls in the class, and also bullying the others in the class.”
One school employee reported “issues surrounding gender/age divisions that seems important to our Syrian population – especially these older boys when it comes to their younger sisters.”
Another email reported that students were offended that the refugees were using sexually explicit language in front of their female classmates.
Monday’s report also included one teacher expressing concern about the refugees’ repeated bullying of a Jewish student.
Tuesday’s report included an email from the head of Fredericton’s international student department to several school employees (including the school principal) on the day of the Brussel terror attacks, warning that “today’s events in Europe may have a trickle down effect in our wing for students of a certain culture. There is a lot of energy or excitement with the students that we should be mindful of.”
