MOUNTAIN BROOK, Ala. (AP) — A Jewish high school student said he couldn’t believe what was going on when a history teacher in a wealthy Alabama school system had classmates stand and give a stiff-armed Nazi salute during a lesson on the way symbols change.
There are a myriad of other ways to teach students about how symbols can change without having them perform a Nazi salute. You could just tell them about the salute. I’m sure if the teacher took 15 minutes to look for examples of Americans doing the salute prior to 1942 that would get the point across. What a terrible teacher.
And I’m sure the kid got in trouble for some kind of “no social media at school” policy it’s still bullshit that he got in trouble for letting the world know what a stupid, or racist, shithead his teacher is.
