In 2022 alone, there have been nine different reports of anti-Semitic incidents at Manhattan Beach Unified School District schools, most recently on Sept. 17 at Pennekamp Elementary School, where officials found hateful phrases and swastikas on the walls.
The first symbols of hate were found in February inside of a bathroom stall at Mira Costa High School, showing a swastika and a Confederate flag drawn in what appears to be pen or pencil. Four days later, another symbol was found. A week after that, another swastika was seen at Robinson Elementary School.
