Swastika Drawn In Easton School Bathroom

EASTON, MA — School officials at Oliver Ames High School are investigating after a swastika was found drawn on a sink inside one of the restrooms. The swastika was found Friday afternoon in a boys bathroom and was immediately reported to school officials. The pencil drawing has since been removed.

"This type of hate speech and hateful action has no room here in our schools or in our community," Superintendent Lisha Cabral said in a statement. "As a district we have been working hard this year to educate our students and foster an attitude of tolerance of all people. We will continue that effort and will not be deterred by the actions of the person who committed this act."

The school department is working with the Easton police school resource officer to try and determine who drew the swastika.
