Offensive Graffiti Found In Arlington High School Bathroom: Report
The incident was reported to the Arlington Police and Human Rights Commission, and is being investigated, according to CBS Boston.
ARLINGTON, MA – Racist and homophobic graffiti was found in a gender-neutral bathroom at Arlington High School last week, reports CBS Boston.
The graffiti was discovered last Wednesday before being removed by school officials. Arlington High School Principal Matthew Janger condemned the incident.
“Vandalism, graffiti, and degrading language are harmful to our school and community,” Janger told CBS Boston. “As an educational community, we welcome and encourage debate and diversity of view. Bias and discrimination break down the trust that allows us to share diverse views constructively and learn with and from each other."
