Magritte25 has been on point throughout this thread.
The kids should get a punishment from their school, and will likely have it effect them through college admissions.
They're either hate filled morons, or just morons, neither of which does well in college anyway.

I know its harder to get into the military now that it used to be but i think the military is exactly what some of these kids need and hope the military would not deny any because of this...
Exactly.
It's crazy to see all the apologists out here supporting these kids. Nobody is trying to put them in jail. We are advocating the same consequences that kids would face for similar actions. You do something stupid publicly, it doesn't get ignored, it effects your future.

The photographer said he told the kids to wave at their parents when he took the picture...
....that's all

All the evidence points to the photographer being a liar, and a horrible father.

- Other kids have said that the photographer told them to sig-heil.

- The kids are clearly not waving. There are multiple pictures, and there hands remain in the same general place.

- At the exact same time that the kids are waving, two of them decided to give the white power sign? No. At the same time that the kids were giving the nazi salute, 2 of them decided to mix it up with the white power sign.

- The school and town have had problems with racism and bigotry.

That's all, and the kids will deal with the consequences of their actions. Those adults who are defending them come off far worse than some kids who might have made a dumb mistake.

Wisconsin boys' Nazi salute was actually a wave to their parents, photographer says
Sounds reasonable to me, half the kids had their arms bent. I'll wait for more kids to be interviewed before I make a call. I mean seriously, doing a Hitler salute would be stupid and serve no purpose anyway. Our student body does this during the school fight song, they point their index finger and tap with the beat. Rather silly, but oh well.

Any young man old enough to go to a high school prom knows what the Nazi salute is about.

The young man in the back right hand corner knew and stated that he declined to go along on moral grounds.

it appears that nearly half of these kids did NOT do the salute.. you can argue some appear to be waving but its clear as day that many (especially on the left) are doing the Nazi salute.. dumb.. very dumb.. If it were my kid, i would be sick to my stomach and madder than a wet hen..

I doubt they were doing a "Nazi-type" salute. This is America or use to be, or are we globalist occupied Germany too? Even if some kids did want to be wise a guy and do a Nazi salute, probably because it's been made taboo, then that's their prerogative. If anyone doesn't like free speech and expression maybe they should leave.

Frankly, I'm tired of the very racist implication that all whites are synonymous with Nazism and must be controlled. The Nazis were a historical subgroup of a subgroup which most Americans and Europeans had nothing to do with. The implication it's synonymous with all whites is intolerable and needs to be removed from my country.
