Anti-black graffiti found at elementary school

By the Daily Post staff

A vandal wrote a racial epithet directed at black people on a sign at El Carmelo Elementary School in Palo Alto, police said.

A school employee told police on Monday that somebody over the weekend had written the slur on a sign and crossed out a cartoon image on the same sign that depicted two non-white children, police said.

When school officials discovered the sign, they promptly removed it.

No similar acts of vandalism have been reported at schools in Palo Alto, police said.

  1. Easy for you to say huh ? What about the non white kids that go there and they ask questions to there parents asking what that meant? It’s not just graffiti but it is a racial slur appointed to one specific race ! It’s sad that these kids are growing up tought by there parents that this behavior is ok. Walk a mile in our shoes and see if you will say oh it’s just graffiti.
