In late September, five black cadet candidates found racial slurs scrawled on message boards on their doors at the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School. One candidate found the words “go home n‑‑‑‑‑‑” written outside his room, his mother posted on social media, according to the Air Force Times.

The racist messages roiled the academy in Colorado Springs and prompted the school to launch an investigation. They led its superintendent to deliver a stern speech that decried the “horrible language” and drew national attention for its eloquence.

Yep, and I’ll bet they were the first ones to knock on the door of the administrators office to: “demand equality and something be done at once!”.

How about charging this Black student with filing a false report? The hoaxers never face punishment for lying to create trouble.

Does the Superintendent still get SJW points for being uber politically correct?

How about kicking his rear out of the academy for conduct unbecoming, and a permanent black mark on his record so he never gets a govt job, either as a United States fighting man, or in civilian role.

The cadet candidate accused of crafting the messages was not identified, but the Colorado Springs Gazette reported that the individual is no longer enrolled at the school. Sources also told the Gazette the cadet candidate “committed the act in a bizarre bid to get out of trouble he faced at the school for other misconduct,” the newspaper reported.

Will the Air Force Academy Superintendent be making another speech recanting his earlier speech? And maybe the superintendent can also deliver a stern speech for the Air Force to report convicted felons to the National Criminal Information Center database.

Drew national attention for its eloquence?
The man made an ass of himself.
He should have kept his d*mn mouth shut until he had facts.
He is soooo typical of a Dorkbana the Muslim eunuch quota boy military.
And the WaPo, as usual, beclowns itself.
The rest of us knew darned well that the probability that the message was written by a black was around 99%.
Not because of racism.
Because of history.

There was one critical number not mentioned in the WaPo article—of the total hate crimes solved in (pick period of time here) x% were real hate crimes and y% were fake.

That would be real information—otherwise the article’s analysis is hand-waving and useless.

It’s unclear exactly what prompts people to commit these hoaxes, stunts and false reports

Really? No REALLY! The MSM has the stone to wonder what prompts people to do these things? Hello! Look in a mirror Washington Post!

He's not in the Academy, he was in the prep school.
