A string of offensive graffiti messages were made by the transgender student who was tasked with leading the investigation group, according to Vassar College officials.

One of the two known culprits was revealed as Genesis Hernandez, a transgender student in charge of the Bias Incident Reporting Team, and officials said that the offending pair were the ones behind some of the graffiti.

The school's director of media relations told MailOnline that they have only been able to pinpoint two of the six incidents to the pair, and the investigation into the other incidents is ongoing......

...The student-led group was designed to formulate the reports and provide support for the victims.

The Daily Caller reports that five days after the initial email was sent, the school president had to send out another saying that the bias incidents were perpetrated by two students, one of whom was a leader of BIRT and actively involved in student government.

'It is our unfortunate duty to report that two Vassar students have admitted responsibility for creating a number of recent bias and hate-speech messages in public spaces on campus,' Vassar president Catharine Hill wrote in the email.

'They also falsely reported these as anonymous messages. Sadly, our community has been deeply hurt by these actions.'

Neither of the students' names were listed in the email and it said that they both had left the school voluntarily....

The school did not formally name Genesis Hernandez as one of the individuals behind the scheme, but the transgender student dropped out of school and left his prominent positions in student government the same day.

"His" prominent position. Kudos to "The Daily Mail" for using the correct pronoun instead of "her" as he, um she, well, the poor misguided kid would've wanted.

I just have to ask. Has there been a real case lately or have them all been hoaxes? It seems that they are all hoaxes.

The other day on Beck’s radio show, the sidekicks were mocking the fecklessness of the supposed bigot that scrawled “Tranny- know your place!!”

Just behind the engine. Everybody knows that.
