A letter was sent home yesterday to Wilton parents about another anti-semitic message being found at Middlebrook Middle School.  A 6th grader found the sticky note in her locker that read “Jews will burn.” 

School officials called an assembly to address students about the incident and the destructive power of hate speech.  Students were informed that if the perpetrator is caught, they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and subject to suspension and expulsion. 

Swastikas were found in the school twice in the past few weeks. 

The school district will be holding a follow-up meeting with parents in the Middlebrook auditorium at 7pm Monday. 

Superintendent Kevin Smith says Wilton is a community built on love, tolerance and respect.  Working together, recognizing that everyone has a role to play in teaching children, Smith said he is confident Wilton will emerge a stronger and better community.
