Racist graffiti has reportedly appeared on Alameda school campuses in the past.
Norman Paine / EyeEm/Getty Images/EyeEmRacial slurs, a hate symbol and the words “whites only” and “blacks only” were written on walls and in a bathroom at Alameda High School, principal Robert Ithurburn announced in a Nov. 18 newsletter. Ithurburn expressed “disgust” after discovering the three tags and strongly condemned them.
“Sadly, it seems like annually I am having to report of some incident of bigotry, hate speech, or racism that we have had on campus,” said Ithurburn in the newsletter. “This week, we discovered three taggings at school: one was the scratching of the N-word into a stairwell wall; one was the tagging of the N-word along with a swastika in a restroom; and one was the writing of ‘whites only’ and ‘blacks only’ on the mirrors above two sinks in the same restroom the day prior,” he continued.
“Despite our strong commitment to providing inclusive classrooms and campuses, from time to time bias-related incidents, such as racist or anti-Semitic graffiti, do occur on our campuses,” said Susan Davis of the Alameda Unified School District in an email to SFGATE.
