The type of racist and reprehensible behavior displayed during Wednesday night’s high school basketball game between Pearl River and Nyack has no place in our community and I condemn it in the strongest terms possible. As a former youth coach myself it’s particularly disturbing to see our young people subjected to type of racist abuse.
While the actions of a few do not define the mindset of the many it is up to our entire community to treat others with the respect we all deserve and speak out against any and all acts of intolerance.
