Good evening, I'm Dion Cheney.And I'm Nicole Winters.Thanks for joining us.A fight with racial overtones that erupted last Thursday at Owatonna High School, sending one to the hospital, appears to have been in the works long before.Tonight, school administrators tried to calm the fears of parents.News 12's Ryan Gustafson was there, and joins live from the newsroom with more.Our camera was not allowed inside the Owatonna High School Auditorium tonight, but we did capture a sentiment of dissatisfaction among a lot of parents that attended.Many parents felt the administrators were not being specific enough about the incident, citing data privacy laws.And Owatonna students who attended tonight's meeting agreed, saying that they were privy to more information at their student meeting than the parents were at this one, and that may be why some parents were so upset.Something the school's superintendent noticed as well.Dr. Tapper says, "I think one thing that was clear from tonight's meeting was that we do have a number of parents that this is a very raw and very real challenge. And something they feel very strongly about."Several attendees tonight expressed concern that Somali students were treated better than white students, with a lot of loud comments focusing on Somali culture and religion and of fears that those things were encouraged over the culture and religion of whites.The students we spoke to, however, said they were accepting of the Somali students' religion, but that Somali males were allowed to wear baseball hats in school, a contention Superintendent Tapper disagrees with, and that difference in treatment has exploded into the recent events.Michael Engen says, "It all starts with the community. If you've read the local papers, people are bashing other religions, bashing everyone else. I think it needs to start with our community to understand each other, to understand where we're all coming from. I'm not white, I'm not Somalian. But I understand both cultures and how they react to things. I think it's just going to take time to understand."School officials heightened police presence around campus last week... the extra security will remain at least through Thanksgiving.But, school officials are stressing school is a safe place to be.Live in the newsroom, Ryan Gustafson, News 12.
