New Prague school chief: Allegations of 'monkey noises' aimed at Robbinsdale Cooper team unsubstantiated

The Robbinsdale superintendent quickly pushed back, expressed disbelief with New Prague's findings

The head of the New Prague school district said Monday that an investigation couldn't substantiate allegations that its fans made loud monkey noises at a girls high school basketball game on Feb. 15 while hosting Robbinsdale Cooper High School.

Announcement of the findings was met with disappointment and disbelief from the Robbinsdale school district superintendent, who accused New Prague officials of dismissing the taunting that students and staffers say was directed at the Robbinsdale team, which includes athletes of color.

In a letter, New Prague Superintendent Tim Dittberner told staff and students' families that an independent investigation commissioned by the district looked into the allegations and interviewed roughly 20 people who were present, and that "loud monkey noises directed at the opposing team could not be substantiated."
