‘Disturbing and painful’: Antisemitic flyers, signs turn up in four East Bay communities

The Lafayette School District sent a letter to the community Monday warning of an uptick in antisemitic activity in the past week.

In a letter signed by district board president Meredith Meade and superintendent Brent Stephens, the pair said, “We are writing to you today with a heavy heart, in response to the deeply troubling incidents that took place in our community last week. Antisemitic fliers were distributed in front of homes in several Lafayette neighborhoods, as well as in surrounding communities, and we want to take a moment to address this matter directly.”
