Jewish teenager has swastika scratched into his skin by school bullies

A Jewish teenager was assaulted at his school in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Images have been circulated on social media of a swastika scratched into his skin. The incident was reported to have taken place on 30th March in a school in the Clark County School District (CCSD).

The FBI is investigating the case after the CCSD Police reported that “no evidence that would indicate the origins of the injuries” was found.

The CCSD also stated: “We will not tolerate discriminatory behaviours that contradict an inclusive community and impact student safety and well-being. If anyone has any additional information related to this case, we urge them to contact school police immediately.”

According to the FBI, over 60 percent of hate crimes against a religious minority are motivated by antisemitism.
