Justice Dept. Files Racism Suit Against Montco Swim Club
by KYW's Pat Loeb
The Justice Department has filed a suit against Valley Swim Club, alleging racism prompted the club to deny access to a predominately non-white day care center.
The suit alleges Valley Swim Club acceded to racist members when it broke a contract with Creative Steps Day Care and returned their check, rather than allow the children to swim once a week.
Alejandro Miyar is a spokesman for the Civil Rights Enforcement division.:
“It's deplorable to deny African-American children entry to a swimming pool because of the color of their skin.”
