A football coach in New Jersey called the police last week after parents in the stands of a high school football game allegedly shouted racial epithets against Hispanic players.
Parents of Hopewell Valley High School students who were attending a game against Trenton's Central Head School shouted "Speak English" to players because "This is America" academic players Juniors of the opposing team, reported NJ.com on Wednesday.

According to the newspaper, the Trenton School District's enrollment is predominantly Hispanic, with 5,728 of its 11,118 students of Hispanic origin. Of the 3,518 Hopewell students, 163 are Hispanic.
The Trenton coach alerted the referees in the October 15 game and the police were called. The referees finally asked the parents to put an end to the so-called racial provocations.
Police Chief and District Superintendent of Hopewell District, Thomas Smith, told the newspaper that one of the parents had perhaps shouted these comments after a Trenton player reportedly used a Spanish word against an arbitrator. The referees apparently have not heard of such taunts.

Smith, along with Hopewell's director, met with the Trenton leaders after the alleged incident and told them what would have happened "do not reflect our community".
Hopewell investigates the incident. Smith told NJ.com he identified the potentially involved parents and said the district would "impose sanctions".
