This is the same school that treated a toy gun on the same level as a real weapon. I think the principal has a tendency to overreact as well as some parents.



Yes, but that sort of poor judgment needs to be nipped in the bud. I am not Jewish and it offends me.

I'm the OP and I don't think it's a joke. I heard a reference to a hate crime and was alarmed as a jewish member of the community. That's why I was curious to know more. The details are sickening.

Where did anyone say this was a big joke.

Calm down PP. Many people in this area have the same connection.

Glad you all think this is a big joke. The fact that a 7th grade student thought that putting a swastika in a bathroom and on a door is disturbing and not something to be made fun of.


As someone whose father's side of the family was completely wiped out by the Nazi's and who lives in Potomac I am quite disturbed and rattled by this.

Sounds like a Hoover parent told OP that there was a hate crime, and the OP wanted the deets.

"swastikas were drawn on sticky notes and that these notes were posted in the boy’s restroom in the 7th grade hall and on a teacher’s classroom door yesterday afternoon"


OP here. Thank you for the clarification. I was just told a hate crime by a Hoover parent and was hoping for more detail which you provided.


The school took the issue seriously, the letter just alert parents. My son was 7th grade did not mention anything at all, otherwise I would not have known.
