Investigation Launched After Noose Found Hanging in Front of Howard Beach NY School

Noose found hanging in front of Walter Ward School in Howard Beach NY, investigation launched.

SHAME: An investigation has been launched after a noose was found hanging from a tree near Walter Ward School in Howard Beach, NY. You will recall Howard Beach, located in Queens, has a history of racial intolerance, which has improved to some degree, but it is still an insular white community.

School officials could not say if there was a noose and that no one at the school saw anything. According to the Department of Education, when the principal heard about it, she went to the location, but there was nothing there. She said no student was outdoors due to the inclement weather so no one from the school saw it. The investigation is ongoing. Source

Sorry, but a noose popping up doesn't exactly mean the community is safe for blacks and Latinos. The nerve to put that up in front of a school!
