Swastika Found In Duxbury School Bathroom: Investigation Launched

DUXBURY, MA — A swastika was found drawn inside a bathroom in Duxbury Middle School Thursday, and school officials have launched an investigation to learn who is behind it.

Duxbury's interim superintendent Danielle E. Klingman called the incident an act of hate and insisted that it will not be tolerated in a letter to the community.

"We were incredibly disappointed to learn that a symbol of hate was used in an act of vandalism in one of our schools," said Klingman. "We are committed to our continual process of education and collaboration with our entire community to address incidents when they arise and take appropriate action."

Duxbury was already in the news earlier this year when their high school football team was accused of using anti-Semitic slurs during games back in June.

After an investigation launched by the school district, the team's head coach Dave Maimaron was fired.
