Story summary

On October 3, 2026, antisemitic graffiti including a swastika were found on the asphalt at Brookside Elementary School in San Francisco’s Marin County around 8:30 p.m. The two minors suspected of committing this act are aged 12 and 13 years old and do not attend Brookside but belong to the Ross Valley School District. These children have been referred to the Marin County District Attorney’s Office, potentially facing criminal charges for vandalism. Superintendent Tyler Graff stated that while the suspects are from the district, they were not students at Brookside Elementary at the time of the incident. The school quickly removed the offensive graffiti over the weekend, but the event has caused significant concern in the community, leading to a protest rally against hate crimes last week.
