Got this message from my daughter's school:
Good evening families of Mrs. C and Mr. M's students,
"Today, there was a swastika drawn on one of the science tables in Mr. [M's] classroom. This is considered hate speech and is upsetting and unacceptable. Westborough Public Schools prioritizes a safe, inclusive environment where diversity is celebrated and hate has no place. We have robust protocols for addressing hate speech. Tomorrow, we will conduct an investigation, contact the families of the student(s) involved, and help educate students about the discriminatory nature of symbols such as these. We are sorry to have to send a message like this, and are hopeful to reinforce our dedication to creating a community where every individual feels respected and supported.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,"
This is the sixth grade. Gee, I wonder where the kid learned about swastikas....
