OAKLAND — Concerned parents are calling on school district leaders to address a racist and violent message directed at Black students that was written in an Oakland hills elementary school bathroom.
Thornhill Elementary principal, Steven Daubenspetck, has opened an investigation into the incident, as has the Oakland police department. The school has not yet identified the culprit, citing a lack of security cameras as a reason for the delay. Oakland police are also investigating the incident. Wright said her 10-year-old son, Maleak, became emotionally distraught and asked to be excused to call his mom after he became aware of the bathroom message. Maleak is the only Black student in his class and his mother said it wasn’t the first time he experienced racism at the school. In second grade a student in his class wrote the N-word on a counter, Wright said.
A letter to the Thornhill community sent out by the Oakland Unified School District superintendent’s office on Oct. 28 described the language used as “threatening, ugly, hateful, racist, and violent.”
