Charlottesville schools close over 'ethnic cleansing' threat
Schools in Charlottesville, Virginia, remain closed as authorities investigate a racist threat that was posted online.
News outlets report that the system’s nine schools were closed Thursday and Friday out of precaution after authorities told school officials of the threat on Wednesday.
Superintendent Rosa Atkins told families that the threat was “racially charged” and the school system does not tolerate hate or racism.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported that a person claiming to be a student at Charlottesville high school, one of the region’s largest schools, warned white students to stay at home so they could shoot dead non-white students in an act of “ethnic cleansing”.
