ANOTHER "Racist Hate Crime" That Sparked a Liberal Protests on a College Campus Turns out to Be Faked by a Liberal Student

 The president of St. Olaf College informed students on Wednesday that the racist note that sparked recent protests was a fake.



The note, left on a student's car on Saturday, April 29, prompted a sit-in and boycotts by hundreds of students. Those protests resulted in an agreement with the college to begin a task force focused on issues of racism and equality.



On Wednesday morning, St. Olaf President David Anderson sent out an email to the campus community saying that in the course of the school's investigation, they confronted a person of interest who confessed to writing the note.



"We've confirmed that the note was not a genuine threat," Anderson wrote.



The note used a racial slur and demanded that the student it was addressed to "shut up or I will shut you up."



He went on to say that while there is no specific threat to the community from that note, this wasn't the only incident of its kind at the school.



"We continue to investigate the other racist incidents, which we are taking very seriously," he wrote.
