S.F. high school
vandalized before diversity celebration

South San Francisco High School was vandalized with racist and homophobic graffiti just before a weeklong celebration of diversity was scheduled to take place. Radio station KCBS quoted a student as saying, "There was Nazi symbols on some teachers' doors, there was the Star of David circled and then crossed out. There were a couple Bible verses, which I found personally offensive. On the side of the gym there was a big hand spray-painted with the middle finger sticking up saying 'Day of Silence This.'"

According to KCBS, police suspect that one or more former students may be responsible for the vandalism. (The Advocate)
