Arlington High School Hate Graffiti Found

ARLINGTON, MA – Homophobic and anti-semitic graffiti was found at Arlington High School Wednesday morning, according to the Arlington Advocate. Two areas in the faculty lot were sprayed – a wall between the courtyard and the Menotomy Preschool and the asphalt of the lot.

A homophobic phrase was written on the wall, and a swastika was sprayed on the parking lot, the Advocate reported. The Arlington Human Rights Commission is holding a Solidarity Gathering Wednesday night in response to these incidents.

The gathering will run from 7:30-8 p.m. at Arlington Town Hall.

Patch has reached out to the Arlington Rainbow Commission for comment. The town is expected to release a statement later today and it will be discussed at the Town Meeting.
