Why didn’t they install cameras after the first incident? And an armed guard? Jews better wake up and get ready.

Swastika Found at a Connecticut Middle School for the Third Time in Just One Month

By Darin Times, October 23, 2019:

On Monday, school administration reported to middle school families that another swastika had been found at Middlesex Middle School.

In September, swastikas and a Star of David were found at Middlesex in two separate incidents that resulted in a police investigation and prompted a school community discussion on discrimination.

“It is with great concern and sadness that I report to you that we have found another swastika on campus. It was drawn on a desk with a pencil eraser. A student saw it and immediately reported it to his teacher. Although the incident was thoroughly investigated, we were unable to determine who was responsible,” Principal Shelley Somers said in a letter to parents.

“While we have taken steps to educate our students about the impact of symbols and language of hate, this latest disheartening incident of Anti-Semitic propaganda cannot be tolerated,” she said.

Somers said the school has addressed intolerance through “Advisory classes, social emotional learning lessons, and our revised Social Studies curriculum, and will continue with a Nov. 7 grade level ‘Step Up’ assembly coordinated by the Anti-Defamation League.”

However, Somers said these steps have not been enough, and is now planning a parent meeting, including clergy and community members, to “discuss strategies to eliminate this unacceptable behavior. You can expect an email from me confirming the date and the time.”

“My staff and I have worked hard for the past three years to develop a climate of kindness at Middlesex. Although I truly believe that the majority of our students value diversity and respect differences, I can neither overlook nor ignore the acts of those who bring hate to the forefront,” she said.

Superintendent Dr. Alan Addley, who has taken a strong stance against the incidents at the middle school, said in a statement to The Darien Times that “no matter what the reasoning, it is very disturbing and unacceptable that these acts of hatred continue at the middle school.”

“The district is unequivocal in its stance in denouncing all acts of bigotry, anti-Semitism, prejudice and discrimination,” he said.

“Nonetheless, we need to recognize that the incidents continue, despite the middle school’s overwhelming positive school climate and its efforts with the student body to address the topic and the recent events that have occurred,” Addley said.

Addley added that moving forward, the district will look for new ways to partner with parents, members of the Darien community and/or outside agencies to assist us in addressing these complex issues in order to ensure a respectful and inclusive learning environment for all our students and families.

Having grown up back east, attending public schools which involved large and a very diverse group of students, and while recognizing that even then there was some tensions existing between these different and diverse groups of students, it did not seem to be as bad as what I believe is happening today and we generally got along. What I am seeing today in all the reports is that the concept of “TOLERANCE’ has seemed to have lost its way, and it seems to be multiplying exponentially. Unfortunately, this undeserved conduct of anti-tolerance seems to me to be primarily based on the now active voice coming out of Islam that promotes hate that leads to violence that seems to be the foundation of that belief system. It is opening the door to this adverse conduct. I fear it will worsen unless we actively speak out against it.

Odd how swastikas always show up at uber leftist areas and never in places where leftists are rare.

We have to get back to freedom of speech so that intolerance can be understood in context. Kids are being taught intolerance in the name of social justice. The result is ever more intolerance based on the supposed civil rights identities.

Talk is cheap. Skip the “education” crap and install those cameras and catch whoever is doing this. Then “educate” them with the CONSEQUENCES! Maybe that will have an impact.

Bet ya it is a MUSLIM!

Let me guess, white middle class liberal middle class parents that buy into that Jews are what’s wrong with the world crap. Once the kids are found someone should investigate the parents.
