Montgomery County MD schools rocked by multiple incidents of swastika graffiti

Schools in Montgomery County in Maryland have been rocked by multiple incidents of swastika graffiti in recent weeks.

In one incident, an antisemitic message was found on a desk at Magruder High School in Rockville. The principal described the graffiti as a “very serious racially insensitive incident.”

In another incident, an antisemitic flyer was reportedly discovered at Northwood High School.

Swastikas were also found on student desks at three separate schools – at Thomas S. Wootton High School, Tilden Middle School in Rockville, and Silver Creek Middle School in Kensington – earlier this year.

In December, a sign at Walt Whitman High School was vandalized with antisemitic graffiti, and, in November, antisemitic graffiti was found along the Bethesda Trolley Trail.
