Boulder CO - Jewish Student Finds Swastika On His Locker

Boulder CO - A Jewish student at Manhattan Middle School of Arts and Academics found a hand-drawn swastika on his locker.

The principal of the school, Martha Gustafson, sent a letter home to parents calling it an isolated but very serious incident of ethnic and religious intimidation.
Gustafson said the student was deeply hurt and frightened by the appalling incident. Many parents and students also expressed their shock and pain from the incident.

The principal gave the students a writing assignment to reflect on how the incident has affected them, and the school is investigating the incident. They said they are not sure who is responsible.

    I was there. I am a sub teacher for Boulder Valley and the student was in my first period class the day after the incident. It was pretty horrible for the student but the administration did a good job and most of the students felt compassion towards the Israeli/Jewish child.

    I believe they caught the students who did this and are taking appropriate action towards them.
