Greeley Student's License Stolen, Found With Anti-Semitic Language Written On It

A Horace Greeley High School student's wallet was taken from a book bag left in a cafeteria and the driver's license was found defaced with anti-semitic language, said Principal Andrew Selesnick in a letter to the community Thursday.

The incident occurred the same day, and the license was found taped to the wall in the boy's bathroom across from the cafeteria by another student, Selesnick, said. He said that the license was on the wall for less than an hour. 

Selesnick said that police were notified, as well as the student's family. It is not known who was involved in the incident. 

In his letter, the principal expressed a strong outrage about what happened.

"Sadly, both acts (the theft of the wallet and the defacing of the license) remind us that the ignorance and prejudice that exist in our world touch us even in those places where we are entitled to feel most secure," he said. "A cruel and cowardly act such as this has no place in a school. If we are able to find the perpetrator, with the help of the police, he or she will face the most serious consequences."
