A student has confessed to producing racist graffiti found Monday morning in a bathroom at Our lady of Mercy School for Young Women, officials announced Thursday.

School officials say administrators were alerted around 7:45 a.m. of the message written in a bathroom that said “this school is filled with a bunch of [N-word]. Get out or else!”

Officials say the investigation was led by the Brighton Police Department with full cooperation from Mercy faculty and staff and during that investigative process, one of the students confessed to writing the racist message.

Authorities say “for legal reasons and in accordance with Mercy’s confidentiality practices, the student will not be identified.”

A statement from school leaders said:

“Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women has concluded our thorough investigation into the racist graffiti incident that was brought to our attention early Monday morning. The investigation was led by the Brighton Police Department with full cooperation of Mercy administration and faculty. During the investigative process, one of our students confessed to writing the graffiti in the girls bathroom. For legal reasons, and in accordance with Mercy’s confidentiality practices, the student will not be identified. Mercy has zero tolerance for this kind of behavior; appropriate and maximum disciplinary action has been taken.

What is the black student’s name?

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

By not identifying at least the race of the student involved, the school is pretty much ensuring that whatever lessons are to be learned from this are going to be the wrong ones.

[Telepathic Intruder]

"A student".

If it was "A white student", they would have said.

[Seruzawa]

Called it.

Yup. For sure not left by a white person or else it would be national news, the kid would be outed and the parents doxxed.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Just doin’ the crimes that white people won’t do.

Even after this, the school will probably be too timid to expell this troublemaking, lying, ignoramus of a student.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Bingo. They are saying “racists are in our midst and we need anti-racist (i.e., racist) training to stamp it out” — regardless of the perp being black.

When an actual White person committs an act like this it will be a man bites dog story.

Another hoax - as predicted on FR when the story first broke.

[Sacajaweau]

Agree absolutely.

"By not identifying at least the race of the student involved, the school is pretty much ensuring that whatever lessons are to be learned from this are going to be the wrong ones."

It'll be a variant of Dan Rather's "fake, but true" approach: "Even though in this case the messages were not real, this incident demonstrates that students of color still feel oppressed by the white-supremacist paradigm that dominates this country. Therefore, the student will face no disciplinary action and we will increase our commitment to equity and diversity."
