Swastikas found in Ontario university classroom; police investigating
TORONTO — The discovery of swastikas inside an Ontario university classroom this week has left some students feeling distraught, the school calling the symbols “hate graffiti” and police investigating what happened.
Freya Clews said she showed up early to her education class at the Victor Dahdaleh Building at York University in north Toronto around 8 a.m. Monday when she noticed a commotion at the front.
“The professor started the lecture, but said ‘unfortunately there was an incident and we have to cancel the class because the class is now a crime scene and police are coming in,’” Clews said.
That’s when she noticed two swastikas on the wall.
