Lol, one of the comments on that article says, and I paraphrase: "How dare they allow children to promote Nazi ways of thinking. Shame on the parents."
Did this person read the article?
The end of the article says: "District lawyers asserted that the image of the Hitler youth was abhorrent because it conveyed intolerance and racial inequality represented by Nazism."
Intolerance? Like when a school district refuses to tolerate the peaceful protests of 2 americans?
So let me ask this, What is more facist?
A. 2 Students taking a stand against the much more powerful School District?
B. A school district oppressing individual expression by requiring School uniforms in a way to control the schools population?
I wore a skirt to protest a dress code irregularity once, and I must have been ugly enough because it was over-turned. My HS had a rule about not wearing shorts after Thanksgiving, but females were still allowed to wear skirts. We organized a "Snow King" skirt rally where many male students and all but one "Snow King" nominee wore skirts to school and the rally. Administration was not amused, but thier hands were tied, because it was all to code.
The Hitler youth thing would have fit right in and not even caused a rukus in my HS, where cars were regularly fliered at football games with KKK literature, and a distant glow of a hillside bonfire seemed inviting until you got close enough to see white robed figures and immolated crosses.
