ST. CHARLES, Mo. - A school district is addressing a disturbing incident after graffiti containing racial slurs and references to sexual violence was discovered in a restroom.

The graffiti, which was scrawled with a dry erase marker, was reported by a student and quickly removed by school administrators.

Administrators expressed their apologies to anyone who had to see the offensive messages and commended those who reported the graffiti.

"The Francis Howell School District and Francis Howell High School will not tolerate racism, hate speech, or acts of violence. This behavior is deplorable and does not reflect our Viking values," the district wrote to FOX 2.

A parent posted photos of the graffiti online, sparking concern and discussion within the community.
