By JENNIFER H. SVAN | STARS AND STRIPES Published: May 7, 2021 Students who spray-painted Defense Department school buildings at Naval Air Station Rota with antisemitic, homophobic and racist messages earlier this year have been adequately punished and can remain in school, officials said. The four students, who scrawled swastikas, offensive messages and images of genitalia on the walls of the elementary and the middle/high schools, were suspended after the incident in late February, said Department of Defense Education Activity Europe spokesman Stephen Smith. They also faced other disciplinary actions, he said. One student has since moved and the others are back in school, he said.

But while German schools have been given the green light to reopen starting next week, it remained unclear when students and teachers at Defense Department schools will return to in-class learning. A letter from the superintendent for the region that includes Germany said remote learning would continue through Feb. 19 but did not mention when schools would reopen. “We will continue to work with our military and public health officials to monitor the situation and will provide updates as necessary,” Steven Sanchez, superintendent of Department of Defense Education Activity’s Europe East district, said in the letter released Thursday.
