[quote=Anonymous]I think schools in general have been doing a lot of talking around tolerance and anti racism and this is some sort of a pushback, rebellion from the kids. I have seen a few kids including my son egg each other on to throw a Nazi salute. We are Jewish, with family members lost in the camps in Latvia. I was appalled but please please get a grip, drawing swastika and the hand gesture is done for shock value. These kids are still figuring things out. Yes, they are teens and should know better. Teachable moment nothing more. Expelled? Suspended? Too far! I am a Russian Jew, I have experienced antisemitism more acutely than most American Jews. No need for the sanctimony. I remember playing Nazis vs Russians as a child and doing the hand gesture and drawing sea sticks in desks and fences. Literally dial the rhetoric down a little. None of these kids is the next Hitler. [/quote]
