On Aug. 4, 2025, Councilor Evan Norris read prepared remarks to the Zionsville Town Council condemning acts of antisemitism after a recent incident in town. Norris said the incident involved two juveniles who allegedly inscribed a hateful symbol on private property and thanked the property owner for contacting the Zionsville Police Department and the department for its investigation. "As a community, it is imperative that we continue to educate our children about the harmful consequences of such behavior and work together to foster a welcoming community for all," Norris said. The comments were delivered as part of the council’s other matters agenda; no formal motion or vote followed. Mayor John Stayer and other councilors expressed agreement with the sentiment and offered community remarks about school safety and upcoming events later in the meeting.
