SACRAMENTO, CA — Large swastika symbols were discovered last week on the exterior of Discovery High School, an “alternative school” in the Natomas Unified School District in Sacramento, according to the Sacramento Bee.
Initially reporting on Jan. 14, the Bee updated their article Jan. 15 to include contact information for readers to submit an anonymous report after police directly requested the public to help “identify the suspects captured on surveillance video.”
“Two red swastikas were found atop a building” among “several buildings that were tagged at Discovery and the next-door Natomas High campus,” the SacBee detailed, citing the letter the district officials sent out to parents Jan. 14.
SacBee mentioned that the spray-painted symbols were removed by staff immediately after finding them, according to district officials.
“Some of the graffiti had messages of hate, which is completely unacceptable,” the letter also reportedly stated. “This behavior will not be tolerated,” according to SacBee.
