Brookline school district administrators said teachers at Brookline High School found two pieces of hateful graffiti at the high school, one of which highlighted a complex political climate and another that may be a copycat of an incident last week at the Lincoln School where a swastika was found on a chalkboard. “It is unclear if this is a copycat incident following what occurred at Lincoln last week or if this is an unrelated and unique use of this symbol. Either way, this is unacceptable. The swastika has a long history of hate; it is deeply concerning that anyone would draw this in our school,” said Superintendent Andrew Bott and interim Headmaster Anthony Meyer in a message they both signed to the school community. Wicked Local reports in another instance a teacher discovered graffiti that read “F***KKK Trump” followed by two responses: ”Hatred won’t fix the problem," and “Sure it won’t, but he’s still awful.” Bott and Meyer said the responses to that graffiti highlighted how complex the issue was as some students struggled with the presidential election. “To be clear,” they said, “there is no room for political discourse that borders on hate.” Bott and Meyer said in response the school was working with the PTO to organize a daylong event in January on civic responsibility, the school had removed the graffiti and was investigating the incidents, and was teaming up with the Anti-Defamation League in an effort to address the issue more deeply. In the meantime they asked parents to discuss the issue with their children. Superintendent Bott said the schools reported both incidents immediately to the Anti Defemation League.
