Antisemitic Graffiti at Five MCPS Schools. No formal comment from the Board of Education.

Five MCPS schools were smeared with antisemitic graffiti this week, only a few days before the start of the school year. The schools are:

• Bethesda Elementary School
• Strathmore elementary School
• Fallsmead Elementary School
• Thomas Wootton High School
• Winston Churchill High School

Initially there were no formal comments from MCPS, and there still is no formal comment from the Board of Education, nor, as far as we can tell, any of the BOE candidates.

Dr. Taylor, the new superintendent of schools, put out the following statement yesterday on Twitter/X:

"As a community we need to stand together against hate. Very sad that many of our teachers returned to vandalized schools today with abhorrent messages."
