A high school in Vermont is working with police to investigate after a swastika was painted with feces in a gender-neutral bathroom, according to the school’s principal
The symbol was reported at Montpelier High School on June 2, the second day of Pride Month, according to Montpelier High School Principal Jason Gingold. In a Monday statement to students and families, Gingold went into detail about the magnitude of what that symbol means and described it as “hate speech.” “It is a purposeful act that targets specific people in our community to instill fear and send the message that they don’t belong,” he wrote. “This is not an isolated incident.
CNN has reached out to the Montpelier Roxbury Public School District, Gingold and the Montpelier Police Department for comment. Earlier this week, students held a moment of silence and attended a “stand up to hate” vigil in response to the incident, Gingold said in a Sunday statement. The principal said the school is continuing to work with the Montpelier Police Department to identify the person behind the incident.
