Albion College in Michigan was in an uproar this week over racist graffiti messages left in a school dorm. It turns out, however, that a black student left the messages.
That did not prevent students from protesting, naturally.

Students have issued demands based on this hoax. This is a familiar pattern. We’ve seen this same series of events unfold at various schools in recent years.
This video culminates in a speaker telling students that she doesn’t feel safe and knows they don’t feel safe.
The school tweeted this a few days ago.
Did I mention this was a hoax?
