Westwood NJ, according to school officials ,Westwood Regional School District will reassess its policy on bias incidents, after a swastika was found earlier this month outside Brookside Elementary School in Westwood . The incident was brought up by parents at Monday night’s school board meeting, the first since the hate symbol was found fashioned out of twigs on the school grounds on March 13th.
In a letter to parents last week, Superintendent Jill Mortimer said the district was able to identify “the individuals” who created the swastika, though she didn’t disclose the repercussions .Westwood Police Chief Michael Pontillo said Thursday that his department had concluded an investigation into the incident and would leave any consequences to the school, since it was a “juvenile matter.”
kids being dopes
racists being racists.
it’s just not kids being dopes, this is happening more and more often everywhere. Disgusting!
Who is teaching our kids this, so embarrassing, so immature, and I blame parents for not informing children of this. Time to grow up.
Hey, where’s the “parents should be charged” crowd?
Do the kids know?
