Four Maryland teenagers were charged with hate crimes after racist graffiti, homophobic slurs, and swastikas were discovered spray-painted on a high school campus, the Fox News website reports today (May 26, 2018).

The graffiti was found at Glenelg High School on May 24 just before an awards ceremony for seniors.
