Barrington Police: Antisemitic message, swastika found on study guide
Discovery made by Barrington High School teacher
A member of Barrington High School’s science department made a disturbing discovery on Tuesday, June 16.
According to police, the teacher was collecting copies of a study guide when they noticed someone had drawn a swastika and wrote “I love Hitler” on it. The teacher told a school administrator about the discovery, and the administrator spoke with the SRO (school resource officer).
School officials told police they did not know who had written on the study guide.
Earlier this school year, Barrington Police charged a 12-year-old Barrington boy with vandalism, after he allegedly wrote racist and antisemitic vandalism on the Barrington Middle School basketball court in chalk.
“It’s hate speech. It’s a hate crime. And if we can identify who is responsible, it will be addressed accordingly,” said Barrington Police Chief Michael Correia at that time.
