Police are investigating anti-Semitic vandalism at a Denver elementary school
Denver police are investigating an incident in which someone used gasoline on Monday night to burn an anti-Semitic symbol on asphalt near the playground at Ellis Elementary School in the southeast part of the city, according to the school district.
Hate will never be welcome in Denver Public Schools, Superintendent Susana Cordova wrote in a letter Tuesday to families and district employees. (Read it below.) She added that she wanted to take this opportunity to encourage all of us to stand united against hate. I want to encourage all of us to raise our voices in opposition to this action and all types of hate speech.
Ellis Elementary Principal Nichole Whiteman said in a separate letter that she had notified the staff at the school about the incident but would not be making an announcement to students.
We do not believe any student saw the hateful image, she wrote in the letter, also on view below. However, they may have seen police officers present at our school today.
