I am greatly disappointed in the people of Lebanon, and the students at Lebanon High School. When I entered the southeast gate of the Lebanon High School football field on Thursday, Oct. 1, I was greeted by a very large Nazi swastika painted on the concrete.
Why was it there? What hadn't it been removed? Why are people being silent, rather than outraged and disgusted by the vandalism, and obvious symbol of hatred painted on school grounds?

Editor's note: Lebanon police are investigating a recent series of incidents of vandalism and graffiti. They are inviting anyone with information to call investigators at 541-451-1751. According to an article in The Lebanon Express, most of the graffiti sprayed around Lebanon High School and Seven Oak Middle School on Sept. 28 and 29 was promptly removed. However, they theorize that Moran on Oct. 1 either found a new Swastika painted after Sept. 29 or that it had been overlooked from the earlier vandalism. It was removed soon after she brought it to the attention of authorities.

Ignorance, stupidity, and Criminal Mischief at it's finest.
ReplyDeleteAs to being silent, this is the first I've heard of it.
That said; I would be willing to call the Superintendent to complain as to the slow action in the graffiti’s removal.
An assembly would be in good order to state a zero tolerance policy. If anyone student or otherwise are caught painting racist (Or any) graffiti this will be dealt with in the harshest terms.
Not for nothing but in Lebanon I am not surprised!
