Racial slur reportedly found scrawled in KCK school bathroom
A racial slur was found on a boys bathroom stall at a Kansas City, Kan., school, according to reports.
“Kill all n------,” someone wrote on a stall at Piper High School, Fox4 reported.
The message was discovered Wednesday, and a special assembly was held Thursday to address the issue, according to KSHB.
In response to the incident, Fox4 reported some students planned to protest for the first 20 minutes of class on Friday.
Piper High administrators could not immediately be reached Friday morning.
“We should all just be getting along. It doesn’t matter what color our skin is,” Delaney Degroot, a freshman, told KSHB.
Piper High Principal John Nguyen sent an email home to parents addressing the incident, Fox4 reported.
“PHS maintains a zero-tolerance stance regarding racist, discriminatory, and threatening comments,” he wrote. “School administration is working diligently with our School Resource Officer in conducting an aggressive investigation to determine the origin of the comment. At this time, the investigation has revealed no credible safety threat whatsoever to PHS students or staff.”
About a year ago, a similar incident upset students, according to Fox4.
Then a student wrote, “Kill all Blacks.” The student was later disciplined.
