Why are schools being targeted?

Dear Editor,

Schools under attack in various forms – fires, teachers being physically assaulted, and more recently, threats with racial overtones and bomb threats.  Why are schools being targeted and seemingly under siege?

It must be noted the threat with racial overtones to schools boys took place at a school not very far from the village of recent unrest following an accident which resulted in a vehicle and a villager being torched. Still no arrests have been made in these despicable acts.

Yours faithfully,

Shamshun Mohamed
