Two teens arrested after swastikas painted on playground in Jewish area of Brooklyn

3. I attended a small, southern, private Christian school for a few years.

At one point, there were a few boys who were drawing swastikas in their school history books and then passing it off as 'research' or 'expression of historical interest'. The fact that teachers would tell these kids to 'erase that' and then just walk away before the task was even carried out was appalling.

Not surprising, given that the entire reason for the existence of the school was the fact that the white farmers did not want to have their kids going to school with 'those kids'. (Apparently, my parents feel the same way, since I and my brother were sent there as well.) To use an old saying, 'The fruit don't fall far from the tree.' (There are always exceptions, or course. Case in point right here.)

It will be interesting to find out just how this idea got planted in these two. Was it familial? Was it social media? Peer pressure?

Orders from on high?
