Two black female students at a California high school were identified as the culprits in writing racist graffiti that included the N-word and had drawn condemnation from school district officials.
On March 22, officials at Rosemont High School in the Sacramento City Unified School District reported that they had discovered the “All n*ggers should die” scrawled in pencil on the wall of a second-floor hallway in the school building at approximately 5:14 pm, according the Sacramento County Sheriff.
The Sheriff’s Office released images from the security camera video that shows the graffiti that includes the slur and what appear to be the suspected students in the hallway.
After reviewing the video, tschool officials and detectives learned the identities of both students. The security camera video showed two Black female students writing graffiti on the wall.
The Rosemont High graffiti discovered last week is the latest in a string of incidents involving racist graffiti discovered on Sacramento City Unified campuses in recent months.
Though the vandalism resulted in minimal damage, the Sheriff’s office said in a statement that they are consulting with the Juvenile Division of the District Attorney’s Office as to if they should pursue criminal charges.
Last week the school district’s superintendent Jorge A. Aguilar said in a statement regarding the incident, “Sac City Unified does not take any incident of racism lightly, and that is why we are widely sharing that another act of disgraceful racist graffiti has taken place in our schools. As a community, we need to loudly condemn this hateful act. Racist incidents will not be tolerated in our schools.”
Christina Pritchett, Board President of the Sacramento City Unified School District said in the statement, “The Board of Education is unified and committed to providing a safe and anti-racist learning environment for our students. We fully denounce all racist behavior, and will continue to do whatever we can to support our African-American community members who need to feel welcomed and loved at our schools.”
The statement also said that “Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against anyone found to be involved with this incident.”
