Nationwide Outcry as Racist Texts Target Communities Post-Election

A racist text message targeting Black individuals, including students in Santa Monica, was sent nationwide following the election, prompting calls for increased security in local schools. Ericka Lesley, a parent of affected students, is advocating for enhanced safety measures, while the FBI investigates the source of the messages. The Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District condemned the messages and promised disciplinary action if local students are involved, though no immediate plans for increased security have been announced.
