LHS Responds to Antisemitic, Racist Graffiti With Homeroom Activity
Racist and antisemitic graffiti — the N-word and a Nazi hakenkreuz — was found in a Lexington High School boys' bathroom on Sept. 2, the first day of school, Principal Andrew Baker wrote to families. Baker called the content "deplorable" and said anyone found responsible will face disciplinary action along with mandatory education about the word and symbol; Superintendent Julie Hackett said the district is fully investigating. During an extended homeroom block today, Sept. 10, students are creating artwork and affirmations reflecting the district's 'We All Belong' core value, following a similar pattern of incidents at Diamond Middle School.
