More antisemitic graffiti has been found within the Smithtown School District.

In a letter to parents, the district superintendent says a swastika was found on a stool inside the library at Smithtown High School West.

The letter said Suffolk police were notified and are investigating. Charges could be filed against the student responsible.

The superintendent is now calling on parents to stop their children from spreading hate, saying “Once again, we must all reflect on the role we play in teaching our children and each other not to hate and we implore you to be partners with us in this work.” 

As News 12 has reported, a swastika was also found etched onto a desk at Smithtown High School East last month.  

The superintendent says there is zero tolerance for hate.
