JNS.org – Wheaton College in Norton, Mass., is investigating two recent incidents featuring swastikas.
On Nov. 7, a swastika was found drawn on the whiteboard hanging on a student’s door in a residence hall where one of the two students in the room is Jewish.
On Oct. 27, a swastika and disparaging words against women were found on a whiteboard in a common area inside the same residence hall.
Wheaton College President Dennis Hanno said the Nov. 7 incident “runs counter to our values as an institution,” adding that the swastika symbolizes antisemitism, white supremacy and genocide.
