'Jena 6' case in La. spurs copycats - USATODAY.com: On the campus of the University of Maryland, where a third of the students are minorities, a noose is found hanging from a tree in front of a building that houses black organizations.

At the Model Secondary School for the Deaf on the campus of Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., seven students, six white and one black, assault a black student and scrawl KKK and swastikas all over him.

The incidents are among at least a dozen racial incidents across the country found in news reports since the case of the 'Jena Six.' The six black teens were charged with beating a white student after a series of racial incidents that included white students hanging nooses from a schoolyard tree.
