    Willow Glen teacher reflects on his years spent in a U.S. internment camp


    Willow Glen Elementary School science teacher Toshimi (Bill) Kumagai reads about the United States' war against the Taliban and wonders if history will repeat itself. He is concerned that mass hysteria and racial profiling will once again take hold and dictate behavior the way they did 60 years ago after the bombing of Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941. Kumagai, 66, was a victim of racial profiling. He lived for three years in a Japanese Internment Camp in Heart Mountain, Wyo., with his mother, father, two brothers, two sisters and 10,000 other Japanese-Americans from the West Coast.   More
