Students repaint school rock defaced with hate speech in Harvard
Students from the Bromfield School in Harvard gathered at their school Saturday afternoon armed with cans of white paint and rollers to repaint their beloved rock that was defaced with hate speech and offensive symbols.
The rock that sits in front of the school was vandalized Friday with swastikas, anti-Semitic symbols and words, drawings of genitalia, and profanities, Harvard police said in a statement.
Bromfield, which has 700 students in grades six to 12, is one of two public schools in the town located about 45 miles northwest of Boston. The school was not open when the vandalism happened, and students are still on Thanksgiving break.
Superintendent Linda Dwight said it was wonderful to see students rally the community to come together to repaint the rock.
