SSF High School Blanketed With Graffiti

"There was Nazi symbols on some teachers' doors, there was the Star of David circled and then crossed out. There were a couple Bible versus which I found personally offensive. On the side of the gym there was a big hand spray painted with the middle finger sticking up saying 'Day of Silence This," one Junior told KCBS’ Holly Quan. 

The school was set to celebrate Gay Straight Alliance Week this week, including a National Day of Silence on Wednesday. On the Day of Silence some students refrain from talking to illustrate how gay and lesbian students often have to keep their lives secret. 

Police suspect one or two current or former students are responsible.
