Report: Idaho High School’s ‘White Power’ Graffiti Revealed To Be Hate Hoax Scheme Carried Out By Hispanic Gang
Idaho police officials believe that a Hispanic gang spray-painted the phrase “White Power” on a local high school in a hate hoax scheme.
The Caldwell Police Department said in a statement that detectives think graffiti was not “motivated by hate” but was carried out as “an act of intimidation.”
“At this time, detectives no longer believe the incident to be motivated by hate but rather an act of intimidation between two rival Hispanic criminal street gangs from Caldwell,” the department said in a Facebook post.
Two days after a “Brown Pride” protest was held at Caldwell High School last week, the “White Power” graffiti was discovered. The “Brown Pride” protest was organized after a Hispanic student was forced to take off a sweatshirt with the words “Brown Pride” on it because it could be considered “racist,” the Idaho Statesman reported.
The school’s principal, Anita Wilson, said the school holds a dress code which is strict due to a gang problem in the community. Wilson said the phrase “‘Brown Pride’ is associated with gangs,” according to the Washington Examiner.
The Caldwell Police labeled the act of vandalism a “diversion tactic” carried out by Hispanic gangs in an “attempt to create fear and intimidation within the community.”
The Caldwell Chief of Police Rex Ingram promised “that when we catch the suspects, the public will be able to see who they are because they won’t be able to hide behind a hood or mask in a booking photograph.”
I half expected to see the police saying "it was carried out as an act of love."
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
I cannot blame the cops for thinking white people did this, the spelling is correct and the printing is fairly neat and even.
Hoax in most of these “incidents”.
The “Brown Pride” protest was organized after a Hispanic student was forced to take off a sweatshirt with the words “Brown Pride” on it because it could be considered “racist,
Seriously,would you wear any garment with the words ‘Brown Power or Brown anything on it? These people really do need to think what the word brown evokes in the minds of most of us.
Well, at least the Mexican gang bangers in Caldwell are getting a decent education.
Have any of them ever NOT been a hoax?
Yes, exactly.
They might be proud to be brown but they sure ran as fast as they could to live near white people
Caldwell. We had a family friend who was a Canyon County Sheriff’s Deputy 40+ years ago and worked out of Caldwell. There were migrant worker enclaves in Caldwell where the police didn’t even want to go back then. I grew up in Nampa, just a few short miles away.
I dunno. Penmanship with spraypaint screams “beaner.”
Were they connected with our KGB?
Amateurs.......................
Wrong Wrong Wrong!!! It was designed to stir up hate against whites and to stir up racial division. That by definition is hate speech.
Promoting a White stereotype is hate and racism.
Phew! Thank God its just Mexican gangs causing havoc.
We thought it was white people.
