Ham: The New Hate Crime
JIHAD WATCH
In Ham

You're not going to believe this one. Police investigate ham incident at school.

boston.com
LEWISTON, Maine -- Police are investigating as a possible hate crime an incident in which a ham steak was placed in a bag on a lunch table where a group of Somali students were sitting.

Such an incident would be offensive to Somalis, who are Muslims and consider pork unclean.

A Lewiston Middle School student was suspended after the incident, which happened April 11. Superintendent Leon Levesque said the incident is being treated seriously and police are investigating.

The Center for the Prevention of Hate Violence is working with the school to devise a response plan.
