MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Rhodes College is getting heat from students after racial slurs were found around the campus.

According to Lauren Roberts, a student and a member of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, 13 sheets of paper were found in the front of the National Pan-Hellenic Council Plaza reading hateful words towards black students.

“They were vulgar,” Roberts said. “‘F N-word, Trump Rules,’ that’s what it said.”  ...

Oh, what a surprise! It was a hoax!

Breaking: An investigation into racist, pro-Trump graffiti messages at @RhodesCollege in Memphis, Tenn. that caused a panic has revealed that it was a hoax from a student.

The college is not releasing information about the student behind the hoax. The n-word and "Trump rules" were written on pieces of paper on campus.

In reaction to discovering the messages, the university reaffirmed its commitment to DEI.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Rhodes College says vulgar and racist messages that were found on its campus earlier this month were fabricated.

Rhodes began an investigation into the alleged hate crime with the help of Memphis Police after hateful messages were found scrawled around a plaza.

Hopefully, holding the culprit "accountable" includes some combination of expulsion or firing plus criminal prosecution.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
