The New York Times is still flagging the "race" card.
In an emotionally charged case that has touched on differences in race, class and religion, a music teacher who regularly let elementary school girls sit on his lap while the class watched movies in a darkened classroom was convicted Thursday of sexually abusing one of them.The teacher was white; the students were native American Indians. The school was an Onondaga Nation school near Syracuse, New York.
Albert Scerbo was found guilty.
"Bristling racial tensions" amounted to a small girl calling Scerbo a “white Christian cracker” in class the day before she accused him last December. The investigator for the prosecutor was a Mohawk and grew up on the Onondaga reservation.
The jury found Scerbo GUILTY of first-degree sexual abuse, a felony, and child endangerment, a misdemeanor. The girl, who had just turned 7 when she testified last week, told the court that Mr. Scerbo “put his hands on my stomach and then went down to my private parts.”TT - If she was the one who called Scerbo a white Christian cracker, good for her.
She had trouble recalling the dates of the abuse, as did many of the girls, but said, “It made me mad.”
As for the New York Times, those are some REAL white crackers. Moose huggers, too.
