Chabot Elementary was evacuated on Tuesday morning after the school received a bomb threat that contained racists undertones, according toOakland Police Capt. Lisa Ausmus said officers responded around 7:30 a.m. to the K-5 school, located at 6686 Chabot Road in the Rockridge neighborhood, and evacuated the campus.Ausmus said the threat was emailed to the school's principal.
The wave of messages and comments might have been triggered by a right-wing social media account that described the event as a "race segregated 'playdate social' for all students except the white kids." Parent Tamila Jackson is part of Chabot Elementary's equity and inclusion group, which organized the Saturday event.
