“How many of these kids grand and great grandfathers died trying to rid the world of this kind of thinking?”

Very good point. I had a client that I strongly suggested that he join the armed forces, but he told me they wouldn’t take him on account of his tatoos. Yep, swastikas. Two of them on his back. I told him that guys wearing those symbols on their uniforms tried to kill two of my uncles. One flew 35 missions over the Reich, the other was a paratrooper who jumped into Holland and fought at Bastogne. The paratrooper would have killed him with his bare hands. He had no business wearing those tatoos.

Perhaps this so called “teacher” should eat the barrel of a gun like her idol, Hitler, did.

F’n NEA scum!

Interestingly, the swastika is much older than Nazism, originating in India, IIRC -- also the Indians (Native Americans) had a symbol which was the mirror-image of the swastika and meant peace, being the [representation of the] crossing of two arrows, each broken twice -- moreover, the 'swastika' (Gammadion Cross) appeared in early christian art where it was representative of the trinity [hence using Gamma, the Greek third letter, as the basic shape] as told by the four gospels [hence repeating four times, as the arms], and joined at the center [likely because they were all telling the same thing, that is the good news].
