POINT PLEASANT BEACH - An incident Friday in the gift shop at Jenkinson's Aquarium in Point Pleasant Beach captured on video has triggered allegations of racial bias.
Attiyya Barrett, 42, says in a Faceboook post that a group of seven girls, all of them black, were told by a shop employee to leave the store because they were unchaperoned.
"They left and got a chaperone and went back in she then said “Didn’t i say YOUS ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! GET OUT!” The girls ran out crying asking why they couldn’t buy something," Barrett wrote in a Facebook post.
