DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. — A suburban Chicago elementary school district has asked police for extra patrols after a swastika was found carved into a piece of playground equipment early Tuesday.
Superintendent Kevin Russell of Downers Grove Grade School District 58 sent parents a letter confirming a swastika was found on the playground at Lester Elementary School. He called the finding “deeply disturbing,” “The swastika serves as the most notorious symbol of hate and antisemitism and has no place in our community,” Russell wrote.No charges for man who fired gun near pro-Palestinian rally outside Chicago, prosecutor says“We have no evidence that this symbol was made by a Lester student,” Russell wrote. “Further, we do not believe that any Lester student saw the symbol. This likely occurred after school when the students had left for the evening.
