Racist graffiti found in a Missouri high school's bathrooms was the product of a "hate hoax," the school district announced Tuesday.
When faculty at Parkway Central High School in St. Louis County announced that racist graffiti had been uncovered earlier in September, students and community members across the district staged a walkout in condemnation of the incident.
However, the culprit behind the graffiti was a nonwhite student, according to a letter sent to parents, Supt. Keith Marty announced Tuesday.
"The student responsible is not white," Marty wrote. "This does not diminish the hurt it caused or the negative impact it has had on our entire community."
The student admitted to writing the messages, and the graffiti constituted a violation of the district's policies, Marty said.
"The student is facing severe disciplinary consequences and referral to law enforcement for investigation," the letter read. "Parkway will continue to hold students responsible for any behavior that threatens or degrades others in our school community."
Even though the student was not white, the school condemned the action and praised the student -led walkout efforts.
"Students proactively led walkouts at multiple Parkway high schools and in these moments, many students shared personal experiences of racism throughout their lives and at school," Marty wrote.
A similar event took place in April at Albion College in Michigan, where a black male student tagged a dormitory's stairwell with graffiti featuring racist epithets and references to the Klu Klux Klan, according to the school's safety department.
"We know that there is a significant history of racial pain and trauma on campus and we are taking action to repair our community," Albion College officials tweeted after the student who created the graffiti was removed from campus.
Another example of a hoax that turned a college on its head occurred in 2017 at St. Olaf College, MPR News reported .
After a note was left on a student's car that consisted of a racial slur and an insult, classes at the school were canceled to relieve the emotional trauma felt by the student body and faculty, according to school officials.
Days later, an investigation determined the letter was not a "genuine threat" and was instead an attempt to raise awareness toward the alleged hostile climate of the campus, a statement from the school said.
In the Missouri district, there is still work to be done to ensure schools are an inclusive place, Marty's letter concluded.
"Let us use this opportunity to continue to grow as a community to be more compassionate, peaceful and loving individuals with care for all," Marty said.
“Nonwhite” = ?
You are not allowed to say Black for crimes
Would love the FBI to create a new crime category and track what % of “Hate Crimes” are actually “Hate Hoaxes”.
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
This has become a kind of ridiculous religious ritual
Some non-white scribbles some racial graffiti
Perfunctory bureaucratic political outrage and virtue signaling ensue
Its discovered to be a hoax perpetrated by a minority student
Followed by perfunctory bureaucratic political finger-wagging, statements of how “it could have been true,” with more virtue signaling
What is it about racism that makes people long for it? What is its advantage for some?
Probably over 90% of these “racist” graffiti and similar incidents are “false flag” events perpetrated by a minority.
Natch!
Any students who were brave enough NOT to follow the herd and walk out were probably called Racists on Twitter and Facebook, a fate worse than halitosis!!
Will they get any apology? Don’t hold breath.
Can you believe this BS explanation to justify the neo-racism of today’s socialists?
Days later, an investigation determined the letter was not a “genuine threat” and was instead an attempt to raise awareness toward the alleged hostile climate of the campus, a statement from the school said.
Canadian?
Just more anti-white BS
Even though it was a ‘non-white’ student who wrote the graffiti, we all have to agree that he did the school a real service by starting a necessary discussion about racial injustice.

Parkway Central is my alma mater! I’m so old that there was only ONE Parkway High School in Chesterfield when I was there. The district split first into Parkway South in Manchester then split again into Parkway West in Ballwin.
When I was at Parkway, I think we had maybe two black students and a handful of Asian students. There was no racial tension I was aware of nor were there any anti-war demonstrations against the Viet Nam war. So there were no racial hoaxes, either.
Times have changed all over the country.
Of course, we had all the black racial tension at Mizzou a few years back with Melissa “I Need Some Muscle” Click which led to seriously declining enrollment.
As of September 1st, 442 hoaxes listed.
Get them for an anti-white hate crime. Whenever these things happen, everyone assumes a white did it. These hoaxes are designed to make whites look bad and put whites in danger, as nonwhites might lash out against them in revenge.
People stage protests over graffiti in a restroom????
I think we’ve all seen nasty messages written on the bathroom walls.
If walkouts and protests happen every time someone writes something nasty on the wall, school would always be disrupted.
I wonder what that hag is doing now.
