Racist incident at Taft School?

[SatchelSF]

This incident sounds so much like the incident at the Air Force Academy last November. Here is what has been reported at Taft:

School officials told NBC Connecticut that on Martin Luther King Jr. Day a student from Ghana returned to his dorm to find “Go back to Africa” and a racial slur written across a bulletin board on the door.

Here is what was reported at the Air Force Academy:

The words “Go home,” followed by a racial slur, were found scrawled in marker on message boards outside the rooms of five black cadet candidates at the Air Force Academy Preparatory School in late September.

It was actually at the Air Force Preparatory Academy - a special 1-year program designed to prepare those who otherwise can’t qualify for the “real” Academy.

People should be aware that there have been many, many hoaxes over the years along these lines. (One of the most egregious was the Duke lacrosse scandal.) Here is a smattering from 2017: https://www.thecollegefix.com/post/40361/

If it turns out that the student at Taft did this himself would people here be so quick to call for expulsion?
