School defaced by graffiti penises

Returning students and staff at the Collège Rousseau in Geneva were shocked yesterday to find the walls and floors adorned by spraypainted penises.

Some are several meters long. 

Removing the graffiti will take several days, says the Department of Education and investigations to the culprit or culprits are underway.

The school remained open yesterday. 

Many students told the press they thought it was funny and did point out there was no sign of hate or insults.
