After numerous hate-related symbols and messages were found spray-painted on Palisades Charter High School over the weekend, roughly 300 students and community activists gathered Monday morning to protest the vandalism.

Demonstrators called for an investigation into the graffiti, which a neighbor reported about 6:30 a.m. Sunday, said Lt. Cheron Bartee of Los Angeles School Police Department. The anti-racism demonstration was peaceful, she said....

Symbols and phrases that referenced the Ku Klux Klan, Jews, African Americans and LGBT people, were found on city property outside the campus, on the school’s signage and a mural, Bartee said. Police believe the writings, which have since been covered, were spray-painted overnight....

During the first period of the school day Monday, students refused to attend class and demanded school officials talk to them about the graffiti, Daley said.


Gosh, I love my Blue state!
