The black St. Peter’s Prep student who purportedly received racist text messages warning him to drop out of the Jersey City high school's student government election sent the texts to himself, a school official confirmed last week.

“The entire Saint Peter's Prep community is relieved that this extremely distressing incident has found closure, and we commend the various law enforcement officials for their diligent work on this case over the past months,” said school spokesman James Horan, who confirmed the result of the probe after its disclosure by a police source.

The 16-year-old was running for president for the Student Council in May when he supposedly received four hateful text messages. He brought them to the attention of school officials who called in his father and police.

"We have NEVER and will NEVER have an (n-word) to lead our school," was one of the messages supposedly sent to the 16-year-old student, who at the time, was a resident in Jersey City.

Sufficient cause exists to disbelieve practically any such claim in the future. Similarly I will believe very few harassment and rape claims. It’s sad but one learns from experience.

When it gets to the point where even children are playing the race card for political advantage, it's become a cliché and it's pretty much all used up.

This is the mentality out there these days. No respect for truth or law. Just anything to get what you want.

relieved that this extremely distressing incident has found closure,

Closure? Distressing incident?

Sounds like, after they found out that the perp sent the messages to himself, the distressing incident got white washed and they called it closure.

He lost his student council race, so his creating victimhood for himself failed.

It also seems that all those who were giving comments and interviews during the distressing incident are quiet now -- unable to be reached for comment.

I’m surprised Al and Jesse haven’t filed suit against the kid as he is obviously moving in on their territory.

Keeping the “dream” alive?

Sounds like the carpet muncher a few months back who said she had been threatened with rape on her Facebook page by an alleged Republican. Turns out, she made it all up, of course.

He's violating their patented bull obama.

When the incident was reported last May, the suggestion that the kid himself might be responsible was dismissed as racist:

Racist text messages sent to St. Peter's Prep student running in school election: cops
