[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son attends Hoover and I discussed the Principal's letter with him this afternoon.  He did not see the notes being posted but he knows the kids involved.  It was a group of boys that dared one boy to post the sticky notes.  Some members of this group are Jewish so it seems like a lesson in stupidity instead of an attempt to spread messages of hate.

The timing of the notes happened to be the week that a Holocaust survivor is scheduled to speak at the school.  The boys were not in school today but I hope the school sees the important value of having them hear and possibly talk with the survivor.  Have this be an important learning lesson vs. a campaign to punish a group of ignorant kids.  I'm not sure this group of boys understood the emotional offense swastikas carry.  That is why continually teaching the next generation about the Holocaust is so important. [/quote]

If your son knows something, please have him speak to an administrator as one student is shouldering the blame and was potentially facing expulsion. [/quote]
