There simply is no place for hate in our district, and this is a message we intend to reinforce with our students. The Wallingford-Swarthmore School District is an inclusive learning community that welcomes and embraces students and families of all races and ethnicities. We will very closely follow our district discipline policy as it relates to any student found posting this kind of material on a school device or network, or during school hours. We are extremely disturbed and disappointed at the thought that any of our students might be associated with this kind of vile display of racism. Upon learning of this photo, we immediately contacted police and are conducting an investigation in coordination with them. However, at this time we don’t have many details and can’t even say who created this photograph and/or social media post. The name and social media handles associated with this photograph appear to be linked to students in our district. In addition, a photo of two people in white hoods has been circulated around social media. This week we learned of an extremely insensitive and hate-filled letter that was dropped off at the homes of some of our community members.

Students hate impero console
