ROCKWALL, Texas — Rockwall ISD officials are seeking information after two antisemitic flags were seen hanging from Rockwall-Heath High School.
In a message to Rockwall-Heath High School families, Principal Todd Bradford said students observed the flags hanging from the east side of the high school. The flags were reported around 6:40 a.m. Saturday to the Heath Department of Public Safety.
The department quickly removed the “antisemitic materials” displayed on the high school, Heath DPS said in a press release.
Neither Rockwall ISD nor Heath DPS disclosed exactly what flags were displayed on the school.
“We appreciate the students who reported the situation quickly and our partnership with the Heath Department of Public Safety for their prompt response,” Rockwall ISD officials said in a statement. “Rockwall ISD remains committed to ensuring safe and respectful learning environments across all campuses.“
The Heath Department of Public Safety, district and campus administrators are investigating the criminal act, Bradford said in the message to parents.
“I stand with our community in firm opposition to any acts of hatred, including the hateful display of flags that were found at Rockwall-Heath High School yesterday morning,” Heath Mayor Jeremiah McClure said. “Rest assured, these actions will not be tolerated, and those accountable will face the consequences of their behavior.”
Bradford asked anyone with information to contact the school or the Heath Department of Public Safety at 972-961-4900.
“We will work together to identify the responsible parties and hold them accountable for this unacceptable behavior,” Braford said.
