It says “antisemitic salute” which I presume means the Nazi style raised arm. https://wtop.com/montgomery-county/2023/09/investigation-into-antisemitic-behavior-at-montgomery-co-high-school/

To the school is different. Everyone should be aware and those kids should be suspended.

Why didn’t they just say Nazi salute? Could they also mean what that French guy does, called a quennel?

Because it’s a hate crime against Jews and that does not meet mcps addenda for hate crimes.

Yes because mcps refuses to make schools safe for all.

They literally labeled it antisemitic to make it clear that it was a hate crime against Jews, and they linked resources on hate crimes against Jews in particular.

Horrible. There was a recent incident at Loiderman middle school where an antisemitic symbol was found drawn in a folder in the art room. From my understanding they do not know who drew it. The principal sent a message home. We need to do better as a society. It was a teachable moment for my middle and elementary school kids to recognize symbols of hate and to know why they are harmful

We don't need teachable moments. We need strong consequences. If parents and schools did not teach them by MS that this isn't ok, then they don't belong in the schools. Not surprising this happened at LMS.

Hi , I’m the OP, I’m 48 and went to Mcps. There would be swastikas etched on desks when I was in schoo. Stuff like that never made the news

Kids were suspended over this kind of stuff when I went to MCPS.

Not really sure of your point. I never said anything about it needing to be in the news. Either way it’s still horrible. Your lackadaisical attitude about it is very concerning. This is the type of thing that perpetuates this type of behavior.

It happens at the W's almost weekly and just gets swept under the rug.
