“Anti-Semitism is on the rise in Montgomery County and the D.C. region,” County Council President Evan Glass said following recent hate crimes.
In his letter, Dodd urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward, adding “this behavior is abhorrent, extremely hurtful, and will not be tolerated at Walt Whitman High School.”
The school’s Jewish Student Union and staff had worked together Wednesday to give the entire school a lesson about anti-Semitism, he added. The exercise included students’ accounts of their personal experiences at the high school, the principal noted. Cops responded to a complaint about the vandalism around 8:04 a.m. but had no immediate leads for potential suspects, police said.that county police also are investigating another instance of anti-Semitc graffiti discovered a day earlier, when someone painted a swastika at Montgomery Mall, which is four miles from the high school.The Washington Post via Getty Im
“anti-Semitism is on the rise in Montgomery County and the D.C. region. There are more and more brazen remarks being made that are chilling to Jewish people like me and the broader community,” Glass said.
