Police in Framingham, Massachusetts, are investigating a possible hate crime after a 10-year-old Muslim girl found two threatening and racist letters in her cubby at Hemenway Elementary School.




The fifth-grader found one note in her storage bin on Friday which said, “You’re a terrorist,” along with her last name, Boston 25 reported.

School officials said they had put safeguards in place, but on Monday, the girl found a second note in her cubby that was addressed to her.

The note said, “I will kill you.”

And his/her punishment, when caught, will be "Oh, s/he's just a bit confused and didn't understand what s/he was doing..."
Even though s/he probably heard about how all Muslims were Terrorists (along with Blacks being lazy welfare cheats and Hispanics being illegal MS-13 members or job thieves) from Mom and Dad every single day of his or her life.

Kids can spell out words that come up repeatedly in what they read - or at least labels they are regularly exposed to.

For example, Faux News has the word "terrorist" prominently displayed about 40% of the time on all their shows, so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to expect that's a word a 9- or 10-year old exposed to Faux can spell, no matter how poorly they may write.

That’s not the handwriting of a child, but of someone writing with their non-dominant hand, I’m sure of it.

that child will probably never get over this. Something she will always remember. And she's just a child. My heart goes out to her and her family.

Probably a Trumpster. These people are insane. Threatening a ten year old girl.

What is this world coming to?
