School Is Considering Legal Action Against Kids Who Threw Up Nazi Salute In Photos

Get this: even people who are assholes are entitled to Free Speech

School launches investigation after prom picture of students appearing to perform Nazi salute goes viral

A Wisconsin school district is considering legal action after a photo of students appearing to give the Nazi salute went viral, prompting an apology from the photographer. Students are also alleging that their school routinely ignores racism.

“The photo of students posted to #BarabooProud is not reflective of the educational values and beliefs of the School District of Baraboo,” read a Monday tweet from the Baraboo School District in Wisconsin. “We are investigating and will pursue any and all available and appropriate actions, including legal, to address.”

The school does realize there is still a 1st Amendment and Wisconsin 3rd Amendment, right? That they can’t take legal action even if people are being assholes? https://t.co/1qltj85Ut1

If burning the U.S. flag is considered to be protected under the 1st Amendment, so are these little idiots. And Wisconsin does have the same protections in its state Constitution. Not quite sure what legal measures can be taken by kids being jerks. Here’s where it gets even dumber

Superintendent Lori Mueller also tweeted a letter sent to parents which read in part, “Early this morning, a photo that was taken last spring of some Baraboo School District students who appear to be making extremely inappropriate gestures began circulating on social media,” and she reiterated the district’s commitment to investigate with the help of local law enforcement.

“With that, we want to be very clear,” she wrote. “The Baraboo School District is a hate-free environment where all people, regardless of race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin or ancestry are respected and celebrated.”

So, everyone is respected and celebrated? But they’re going to go after these little idiots? Doesn’t sound like everyone is respected and celebrated. Sounds like intolerance. I wonder if these hardcore leftists even think before they write talking points like this, any sort of understanding that they don’t actually respect and celebrate anything outside of their little bubble.

There may or may not be more to these high school idiots doing this, you’re welcome to read the article. Regardless, again, even assholes have Free Speech protections from government. Not from private citizens blasting them, of course. We should also remember that people do dumb things all the time. I bet every single person blasting these kids have done something incredibly stupid.

It’s also interesting that the kids are now being bullied. I thought that was bad? Perhaps if they were shown compassion and told what they did wrong they’d realize the error of their ways.

Finally, see the kid front row left between guys in gray? He’s throwing the so-called White Power OK sign. He’s actually playing the circle game. And you just looked.

At the end of the day, you don’t have to agree with what someone says or does: but government can’t simply come in and punish speech it doesn’t like. The kids are still aholes, though. Even though they are kids, they should still know better. A few did. Most didn’t.
