Good thing there are Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and other cultures in Bellvue, otherwise there would only be white nationalists in BillGates neighborhood..

It’s just a symbol. No need to cry.

This was posted last night, too.

It seems the teacher first condemned it as a hate symbol.

Until someone complained. Makes sense because the town is 40% Asian (school probably even more) and it’s not a hate symbol to them. It means Dharma, it’s used on food packages to indicate vegetarian or vegan, a type of Buddhist kosher.

So the teacher can’t win.

Teacher tries to be inclusive and follow DEI.

Problem is a teacher doesn’t need to send out statements about this. Just wipe it off.

The neuroses of the liberals.

>> “the swastika is a symbol of peace, prosperity, and good fortune”

Well, Heather’s submission is unfortunate.

The swastika should be a secondary concern to the beneficial Constitutional rights that permit such symbolism. Hopefully, Heather will eventually have the means to educate the students on this vital aspect of speech.

Decades ago, we observed the permitted procession of Nazi acolytes parading throughout the streets of Black neighborhoods. Yet with the neighborhoods maintaining cool restraint, the idiotic Nazi drama dissipated, and the community at large moved on together and stronger. BTW, there was no violence.

Today, the American Left is far worse than the American parading Nazis in terms of the material violence and penetration of the otherwise exospheric norms protecting society.

Last time I checked, Mein Kampf was still available for purchase in the USA.

It’s a strange situation where the Hindu swastika pre-dates the Nazis by 2500 years. And it’s apparently integral to the religion in much the same way that the Star of David is a key part of Judaism. I used to the Hindu swastika ran counter-clockwise, but I am apparently wrong.

Snookal was later placed on administrative leave, and the school district said it was investigating the matter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wonder if they’ll bring Snookal back when they find it was a prank, or if there’s now too much bad feeling so they’ll have to shuffle her to another district.

Oops, also a “Native American” symbol that was still used on American uniforms early in W.W. II.
Yes the US version was reversed, but still confusing to those who had no time for careful scrutiny.

Actually, it's Washington state. Just east of Seattle. Remember Seattle? A liberal sewer? The crown jewel of failed social experiments?

Yeah, I'd be suspicious of a teacher displaying a swastika.

Determined to be a hoax in 5...4..3...2..

As Ann Coulter first said [paraphrasing] “There is not a rash of race-hate incidents, there is a rash of race-hate HOAXES”
