Hundreds of students packed an administration building for a protest at St. Olaf College on May 1 as students boycotted classes to protest alleged racist incidents at the school in the southern Minnesota town of Northfield. Doualy Xaykaothao | MPR News file
A racist note that rocked St. Olaf College two weeks ago was a fabrication written by a student apparently to draw attention to campus climate concerns, the college said Wednesday.
The note was "reportedly left on a student's car on April 29. We confronted a person of interest who confessed to writing the note. We've confirmed that this was not a genuine threat," David Anderson, St. Olaf's president wrote in a memo. "We're confident that there is no ongoing threat from this incident to individuals or the community as a whole."
While this was not a "genuine threat," the Northfield, Minn., college continues to investigate other racist incidents and are taking them seriously, he added. School leaders remain committed to addressing questions of campus climate, he said. ...
Citing federal student privacy laws, Anderson said the college could not disclose the identity of the message writer or discuss any punitive actions taken against that person by the school. (more at link...)

Give you both a cigar (if you smoke), because I will guarantee that this will (if not already done) be added to that voluminous list maintained by that well-known purveyor of MSM statistics, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)! I believe that they only can add and almost never subtract!
bkmk
I noticed a piece in the Wall Street Journal that used SPLC’s statistics as an indicator that racism or whatever Bad Stuff is on the rise. They must be taught in journalism school to treat data from leftist advocacy organizations as if it were objective, accurate fact.
Is there even a single legitimate instance of an actual “hate crime” anywhere in the last 10 years? I have a real hard time believing this generation is a hundred times more racist than their grandparents.
Though I do wonder sometimes if these reactions are due to overwhelming inferiority complexes due to everybody assuming they were not admitted based on merit.
The one who writes a “fake” note must pay the same penalty as the White who writes a note. You know it won’t happen. The non-White will be charged with a minor crime and let go. But a White would have gone to jail.
This discrepancy is deliberate and intentional. It is wrong.
Ah, another letdown for the racial-grievance collectors.....
We are not supposed to connect the dots. Wrongthink will be punished.
Victim status = secular salvation.
