obama's daughters' old school. those racist hillbillies are at it again
Quote:
An investigation is underway after racist names and swastikas were displayed on big screens during a Thursday assembly at the private Sidwell Friends School in Northwest D.C.

It happened when Upper School students gathered for a presentation about OnSide, a student-founded project which uses soccer to help bolster an understanding between people of different backgrounds.

Following the presentation, students took part in an online game, using their cellphones to answer questions.

Their answers, along with the submitter’s username, were projected onto large screens.

Some of the usernames were racist toward Asians and Native Americans. Two usernames contained swastikas.

Kids getting a rise out of people with a prank.

Maybe the media will swarm the place, threated to punch the kids in the face and release their home addresses for their viewers to get a couple swings in on them too.

Seems to be a theme this year.

CA:
“A group of California junior high students were caught forming a swastika with their bodies on school grounds and exchanging racist and violent messages on a group chat, administrators said.”

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ool-california

“Gathered around a table covered in dozens of red plastic cups, a group of young people people grins widely, posing for a photo. Their arms are extended out in what appears to be a Nazi salute. In front of them, the cups have been arranged into the shape of a swastika.

School officials in Newport Beach, Calif., announced Sunday that they are working with law enforcement to investigate several photos that were reportedly taken at a party over the weekend attended by high school students from the area, according to the Los Angeles Times.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...=.ee0cf2f281cb

It’s a shame that these things pick up steam so quickly.

Thanks so much for including that totally irrelevant tidbit! Good to see Obama still living rent-free in RW heads.

USAToday found it completely relevant. does obama live in their 'RW heads' too?

"The prestigious Quaker school opened in 1883, and has served as the school for several presidential children, including most recently Malia and Sasha Obama, daughters of former president Barack Obama."

I don't understand why people allow themselves to be intimated by symbols, flags, statues, or speech. None of it can hurt you. People want to be offended I think. It gives them some satisfaction that their feelings, and lives actually mean something. Get a life!

the swastika has been imbued with so much meaning that pinheaded adolescents know they can use it to get an instant reaction.

Given Richsr Nicon's his blatant anti-semitic beliefs it would seem far more relevant to the article to mention Tricia Nixon attended that school.

better let USAToday know you disapprove of their choice of former students mentioned so they can do a quick edit.
