Stoughton HS Student Faces Discipline For Drawing Swastika

STOUGHTON, MA — A sophomore at Stoughton High School faces discipline after drawing a swastika on a computer.

Friday morning, the students in a class were making flags as part of a group activity, when one of them drew a swastika on a computer. Another student in the group told the offending student to not do that. The image was deleted and a teacher reported the incident.

“The correction provided by the student’s peer and the swift actions of the teacher and administration demonstrate the ideals we value as a community,” Principal Juliette Miller said. “Offensive hateful images and words will not be tolerated in our community.”

The student, whose name has not been released will be disciplined and and subject to corrective action, according to the school.
