Other articles stating that the race of the student is being withheld as well.

...I wonder why?

[Old Sarge]

And another “fake but accurate” campus hate-crime occurs.

[Tulane]

You know why.

[Dubh_Ghlase]

Seems I heard this happened before, and it turned out the perp was black. Revealing the race of the perp apparently doesn’t play into the narrative very well...

[don-o]

Surely Dook has referred this to the local police? Hate crime and all that.

What's the big deal? When I was in school in the 50’s there was a noose tied in the Venetian blind cords in half of the class rooms.

Probably a “Hands Up Don’t Shooter”

“Other articles stating that the race of the student is being withheld as well.”

When I was in med school in the 1970’s, one morning there were anti-Black epithets found scrawled on a number of desks in our main lecture hall.

An investigation ensued, and little came of it.

Then, one of the psychiatry professors, commenting on the event during one of his lectures, stated that from a psychiatric standpoint, he would predict that it had been done by a Black student.

Bingo. A Black woman student was found to have done the deed, and she was not seen again in the school.

In the 50’s, there wasn’t very much political power to be had by finding “racism” under every rock.

Old Sarge @2: And another “fake but accurate” campus hate-crime occurs

Bingo!

[Fresh Wind]

A noose is actually a very easy knot to tie. As a kid, I got it right the first time I tried it, without any instructions or diagrams.

[Ditter]

In the early 50’s in my school there weren't any black kids so the noose wasn't about them, now it is.

"The identity of the student is being withheld in compliance with federal student privacy regulations."

These are not the droids you were looking for.

[Fresh Wind]

Any kid who watched a western movie knew about nooses.

[Vaquero]

Exactly. I learned to tie a classic 13 loop noose by age 10 and loved to show it off wherever a rope, twine or cord was unattended

[Texas Eagle]

Why are there so many examples of racist, sexist, homophobic, racist attitudes on our college campuses?

Who's running these institutions? Tea Partiers? Dittoheads? Right-wing wacko, Bible thumpin' Sarah Palin worshippers?

[Gaffer]

There is a really good instructional video on the web about how to tie an accurate noose.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Another Son-of-Obama.

[deport]

In the early 50’s in my school there weren’t any black kids
so the noose wasn’t about them, now it is.

Good ole westerns and ‘hang’em high’ back in the day.
