Princeton,
NJ – Antisemitic graffiti was found last month on a basketball court in
Princeton’s Grover Park, the town said Tuesday.
A
resident alerted the municipal recreation department on March 15 finding the
words “Gay Jews” written in substance “like spray paint” around a star of David
with a Swastika in the middle, the town said. Municipal recreation director Ben
Stentz said the graffiti was removed that day and that police were notified, a
standard practice whenever graffiti is found.
Councilwoman
Jo S. Butler, the council liaison to the recreation department, said Tuesday
that it was an isolated incident that did not require the public to be notified
at the time it happened.
“Certainly
if it became more widespread, there might be a reason to be public,” she said.
