Antisemitic graffiti bearing swastikas and slurs discovered at Davidson College

Swastikas and antisemitic slurs were discovered on a blackboard in Davidson College, North Carolina this week.

Photographs of the graffiti, discovered on 26th April on the blackboard of an outdoor classroom, were circulated on social media over the weekend. College President Doug Hicks released a statement announcing that local police were investigating the incident and that support would be provided for “members of our community who feel targeted.”

Jewish students at the College, disappointed by the response, released a statement, saying: “This hate crime is not an isolated incident. We’re not surprised by it. The administration has not done enough to respond.” They also noted that the College “never reached out to Jewish students.”
