It is behavior that Iona Preparatory does not condone for its students and will not accept from its faculty and staff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that&#8217;s too late for Tony Humphrey and now he&#8217;s moving on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Racism reared its ugly head in high school again, this time at a private high school in New York. 16-year-old Tony Humphrey is a star baseball player for Iona Prep high school in New Rochelle, NY.
