The Times Union reports an arrest Oct. 23 of a Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk high school student on charges of harassment and making graffiti. The unnamed student allegedly scrawled a hateful message on a bathroom wall at the high school. The graffiti ridiculed Jews, African-Americans, and homosexuals and included a swastika and repeated references to Hitler. The southern Albany County school held an assembly to address the matter with students at the beginning of school Oct. 23, before the arrest was made. The Ravena News-Herald reported that on Oct. 21 another school in the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk school district had an incident. A number of bullets were discovered in a second-grade classroom at Pieter B. Caymans Elementary School. Read more about this story in the Times Union.
