HBCU ‘s across America all February long have dealt with a not so surprising problem. According to the Huff Post, schools far-and-wide have dealt with increasing numbers of very real bomb threats all month long and its only getting worse.
On Friday, the following U.S schools received bomb threats that resulted in students being asked to leave campus or for everybody to shelter in place. They are: New Orleans’ Dillard University, North Carolina’s Elizabeth City State University and Virginia’s Norfolk State University. Between about 6 January and the middle of Feb there were about 54 federally recorded bomb threats at HBCU ‘s alone.
“This investigation is of the highest priority for the Bureau and involves 31 FBI field offices that are actively working with our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners to identify those involved,” the agency said in a statement Wednesday. “The FBI is investigating these cases as racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism and hate crimes.”
