When students return to the J.J. Hill Montessori School in Minnesota next month, they will find counselors ready to help them. The students will also find teachers and other school workers offering hugs and other support, Principal Fatima Lawson told VOA. She said her employees will show the children they care and want to help. After J.J. Hill sent its 500 students home for their summer break, the school’s popular cafeteria supervisor, Philando Castile, died. He was shot and killed by a police officer at a traffic stop. His death and another killing, by police of an African-American man in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, fueled protests across the United States. It led to claims that some police officers target African-Americans for use of deadly force. Later, a gunman killed five police officers in Dallas, Texas. Three other police were shot and killed in Baton Rouge. The Dallas officers were on duty at a demonstration called to protest the police shootings of African-Americans in Minnesota and Louisiana.
