Police said students were spoken to by the force's school resource officer and educated about hate crimes.“We are a welcoming and inclusive community. Hate and racism has no home here,” McDonald wrote on Tuesday. “It is everyone's responsibility to speak up against racism and hate when it appears.” Tod said that the police service is asking the public to support the elimination of hate and intolerance, and end the acceptance of any behavior that promotes hate speech or intolerance.
