    I saw KKK epithets, a swastika, and the N-word all over the bathroom. It was so gross and racist I don’t want to discuss it. It would say ‘kill black people,’ ‘kill N-words,’ ‘hang black people,’ ‘hang N-words.’

    When I was in high school some kids did exactly this in the bathrooms, targeting a specific black administrator. There was a whole thing about it one year, and I’m from a very progressive part of the USA so you wouldn’t really think it would happen, but it did. I’d guess 2009 or so, not long ago enough.

    Now there’s an argument to be made that those were just kids, not adults, to which I would counter with: those same kids grew up into adult bodies, but some percentage of them didn’t grow into adult minds.

    If you doubt this story happened, then I doubt you went to American public schools lmao.
