GRAYSLAKE, Ill. — Several students at a Grayslake high school are disciplinary action after a Nazi swastika was posted in a school bathroom.

The incident happening Tuesday at Grayslake North High School.  

An item appearing to be a red, Nazi flag was discovered on a bathroom wall.

“This particular incident is disappointing, saddening.” District 127 Superintendent Dr. Mikkel Storaasli said. “This came from a 9th Grade World History class. These teachers are very concerned about their obligation and responsibility to make sure students understand this.”
