This looks just like the NASCAR ‘noose’ story. Have we learned nothing? Incidentally, this is not a noose, which is a very specific type of knot. This is just a loop at the end of a cord.
The College Fix reports:
Noose not ‘racially motivated,’ school district saysA noose found in a Missouri high school bathroom is not “racially motivated,” according to the district.However, the district has not responded to College Fix questions for further information.Parent Mitchell Long reported finding a noose in a bathroom near the Francis Howell Central High School football stadium last week.“Wow, are we still doing this, did this really just happen,” Long, who is black, told the media, recounting his reaction.“Too many of our black and brown babies have those struggles in our schools,” Long told KSDK 5.But an investigation concluded the suspect involved did not put the noose there as a racist act.“After extensive conversations and investigation, we do not believe this to be a racially-motivated incident,” the district stated last Friday, according to KDSK 5. “However, we understand the symbolism of a noose and the harm it has caused to our community.”“The Francis Howell School District will not tolerate hate or racially-motivated violence in our schools or on our campuses,” the district further stated, according to the NBC affiliate. “We will continue to work in partnership with students, staff and community members to nurture an environment where everyone feels welcome, safe, supported and loved.”Soon after the noose was found, the principal of the high school sent a message to the community.“I am writing to let you know of a disturbing discovery that is impacting our community. Last evening, administrators were informed that a parent found a noose hanging from a stall in the men’s restroom near the concession stand at Spartan stadium,” Principal Suzanne Leake wrote. “While there were no words or notes to accompany the noose, we are partnering with law enforcement to investigate this as a potential hate crime.”
