9 more yearbook entries tampered with at school where Black student's tribute changed to racist slur: police


Ontario police investigating how a Black student's yearbook tribute to his grandmother was replaced with a racist slur now say nine more students have come forward saying their submitted quotations were also tampered with. Durham police have been interviewing faculty and students at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School after student Joshua Telemaque's yearbook entry — which was supposed to read "RIP Grandma. Thank you for guiding me through my four years of high school" — was changed to "RIP Harambe Dooga booga.O." Telemaque's aunt, Mayma Raphael, has said she believes a group of students and at least one teacher were responsible for handling the yearbook. News of the changes to Telemaque's yearbook entry sparked widespread condemnation as well as an outpouring of love and support.
