95. If the entire graduating class has to write that paper then so be it.

Ramping up the peer pressure and disdain is not a bad thing either. If there are kids who are judged by their teachers to be unable to write that paper, then sure, give them a pass on it. The rest of that "school" needs to be fully educated on both the horror of the camps and the Nazis that ran them.

The hard reality is that free speech is only a guarantee that the government can't punish you for speaking out. There is absolutely zero protection from the repercussions of going out in public and showing your ass. Better to fully absorb that lesson now rather than later when they have a family at home depending on an income that vanished because dad decided to carry a tiki torch while screaming some horrid slogan.

The KKK hid their identities for years because they KNEW it was wrong. They wore masks and even draped their horses to prevent identification. Seems like these nazi-wanna-be punks have forgotten--or never learned--that normal people do not embrace this crap. Maybe it is the orange anus in the whitehouse that has emboldened them, maybe it's the passage of time. Either way, they need to realize exactly what it is they are saying and doing.

I still blame the "adults" for not teaching them.

YMMV.
