Two Denver Schools Vandalized with Anti-Semitic Graffiti

October 19, 2021

Two schools in Denver were vandalized with antisemitic graffiti some time over the weekend.

According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the nonprofit JEWISHcolorado, George Washington High School was spray-painted with swastikas as well as racist and homophobic statements on the evening of October 16 on the school’s buildings and running track. The following night, the Denver Academy of Torah, which is about a mile away from the high school, had its windows smashed with rocks and its electrical power box was damaged. A suspect also reportedly shouted antisemitic slurs when confronted by an unknown individual.

The two incidents are not believed to be connected.
