Racist graffiti on Dr. Knox Middle School in 琉璃神社 shocked those taking a Sunday morning walk.

The 琉璃神社 RCMP is investigating the mischief and a form of a 鈥渉ate crime鈥� was spray painted on the portables at the 琉璃神社 school sometime on or before Oct. 9.

Const. Mike Della-Paolera said that the vandalism included several racist remarks including swastikas and references to the 鈥淣鈥� and 鈥淔鈥� words.

鈥淚t鈥檚 disturbing to see this kind of hate,鈥� said Const. Della-Paolera 鈥淭here is no place in 琉璃神社 for this lack of humanity and our investigators are working with the school to track down and identify those responsible.鈥�

琉璃神社 RCMP and school officials are working to have the graffiti painted over before students return to class on Oct. 11.

The school is working with the RCMP to identify who is responsible for the vandalism. Police are asking anyone with information or video footage from their home security systems to come forward and reference file number 2022-63798.
