Student Suspended For Inflammatory Comments Toward Latinos: PD

PLEASANT HILL, CA — The Pleasant Hill Police Department said Thursday that following an investigation into "inflammatory comments directed at the Latino community" posted to a College Park High School student's personal social media page, the student was suspended from school.

"The comments were racially-motivated, but no specific threats were made against individual students nor did they describe planned acts of violence on campus," Pleasant Hill police said in a news release.

"The investigation also determined the student has no means to further the threat," police said.

Criminal charges are not expected to be filed, but the student, whose name was not disclosed, was suspended by the Mt. Diablo Unified School District pending further administrative review, according to police.

His family was included in the process and is cooperating with both school administrators and law enforcement, police said.

Roughly 42 percent of students who attend Mt. Diablo Unified School District are Hispanic, according to the district's website.
