Grant H.S. Increases Security After Culture Clash

VAN NUYS, Calif. Grant High School will increase a police presence following outbreaks of shouting between Armenian and Latino students at the end of an Armenian genocide remembrance assembly.

The disruption broke out at the Van Nuys school around noon on Wednesday, said Susan Cox of the Los Angeles Unified School District. No arrests were made and there were no injuries reported.

The shouting apparently started with Latino students taking issue with the program. School police quickly intervened.

"The students that were involved in the friction were sent home with their parents," said Principal Linda Ibach.

"We did ask the parents to pick them up themselves. Some of the students were suspended over the next couple of days. We will sort all that out on Monday when the students return."

Ibach said extra officers would be deployed at the campus through Monday "just to make sure that we are all calmed down."
