As Bedford schools deal with anti-Semitism another swastika appears

Source: Boston Globe

The day after more than 300 people attended a community forum to denounce recent incidents of anti-Semitism in the schools, a swastika was discovered at Bedford High School.

Superintendent Jon Sills said the swastika, found Friday, was written in pencil on a wall tile near the teachers’ room. Sills said the Police Department was called, pictures were taken. and the swastika was erased.

Sills said the schools notified the rabbis at the two local synagogues that serve Bedford and sent an e-mail to parents.

The swastika was the latest in a series of anti-Semitic incidents at the high school and the district’s two elementary schools. One of the incidents at the elementary schools involved students engaged in conversations about a game they called, “Jail the Jews.’’ In the fall, swastikas and hateful graffiti were found at the high school and one of the elementary schools.

Anyone from the area? What is going on there? Did something happen recently, which might explain why this happening?

Elementary school kids don't just make up a game called "Jail the Jews." That came from parents. You can bet investigators have strong suspicions regarding the identity of these idiots.
