Chief Executive Officer of the Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) Gomin Camacho has confirmed that it is investigating an incident where racial abuse was aimed at Ivor Thom, Head of the Burrowes School of Art
Thom yesterday told Stabroek News that the investigation was triggered by significant media attention surrounding the incident.
Thom related that on September 7, he was verbally abused with racial slurs by a member of the public, which, he said, contributed to his decision to step down from his post. He has since decided to return to the post.
