Swastika Found On Jewish Student's Locker At Lincoln Park School
The principal described a "desensitization" to "'joking around' with one another about inappropriate and culturally insensitive things."

In a letter to parents, Oscar Mayer administrators described what they called “saddening and alarming” incidents in the school’s International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (MYP).
