The message "Jews Not Welcome" was found spray painted on the sign on Saturday, Dec. 17, as previously reported by Daily Voice.

The walkout was held in the school commons, with Jewish students filling each space along each tier. Several rabbis, delegates, and students spoke at the event, the reports continue.

Both Jewish and non-Jewish students participated in the walkout, with some Jewish students reminding those at the event of their relatives who had their lives taken in the Holocaust during World War II.
