Graffiti found in high school bathroom demands 'more black teachers' or white teachers will die, school says culprit is developmentally challenged

Parents and others are upset over a school's response to graffiti, found in a bathroom, that threatened to kill white teachers unless more black teachers were hired.

The graffiti was found in a girl's bathroom at the Upper Darby High School in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania.

An image of the graffiti was posted to social media. It appeared to read, "Y'all better start hiring some more Black teachers or 5 white ones will die."

The Upper Darby Police Department was alerted about the graffiti on Feb. 28, but police indicated that they were unsure when the vandalism occurred.

Upper Darby Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt said that the school had determined the student who had scrawled the graffiti was a developmentally challenged 19-year-old, according to the Delaware County Daily Times. The student is said to have the intelligence of an elementary school child.

Bernhardt said that the student would not be charged because the graffiti had already been cleaned up by the time police were notified and because of the student's mental capacity.

“Nobody is able to really place the girl in that bathroom at the time other than the process of elimination from a teacher who knows that those special needs students were in that bathroom at that period of time,” he explained.

Around the same time the graffiti was discovered, the superintendent of the school district had sent a letter to parents asking them to talk to their children about increased incidents of bad behavior detracting from instruction.

“Over the past few months, the increase in physical altercations on the way to school or on the way home from school while walking or on our buses, conduct in our schools, and even conduct in the evening and over the weekend has to improve,” wrote Upper Darby School District Superintendent Dan McGarry.

Parents expressed their outrage at the response from the school and demanded that the incident be taken more seriously.
