The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned the racist vandalism of Reno High School in Nevada.
On Thursday night, Reno High School was vandalized with racist slurs and hate symbols. In an email to the school community, Reno High Principal Michael Nakashima wrote that the school is working with local authorities to make sure those responsible are identified and held accountable.

CAIR and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with all those challenging antisemitism, systemic anti-Black racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, white supremacy, and all other forms of bigotry.
