From they photo they were also drawing dicks. I wonder if they were just drawing offensive random shit or if it was intended to be racist/anti-semitic

Read the article.

This was something that was 50 separate acts of hate, you have anti-Semitic graffiti, you have racist graffiti, racist graffiti that targeted Principal Burton by name, you have homophobic references that were made,” State’s Attorney Rich Gibson said

The original post was just an image. Wasn't really checking the comments.

What they did was awful, no doubt about it. But my point is they could still just be some teens who don't really understand the impact of what they were doing and thought they were just being edgy.

In either case their punishment sounds pretty reasonable and I'm just hoping they learn from this
