Public schools in Charlottesville are shutdown for the second day in a row over 'racially charged' online threat.
Public schools in Charlottesville are shutdown for the second day in a row over an online threat.
The threat was "racially charged" though no further specific details about the threat have been shared by the Charlottesville School Board. An investigation involving state and federal authorities is ongoing, according to the Charlottesville City Schools superintendent Rosa Atkins. "We do not tolerate hate or racism. The entire staff and School Board stand in solidarity with our students of color — and with people who have been singled out for reasons such as religion or ethnicity or sexual identity in other vile threats made across the country or around the world. We are in this together, and a threat against one is a threat against all," the school board said in a statement.
