'Sickening': New Photo Emerges of Indiana High School Boys Giving Nazi Salute

Once again, a pack of high schoolers has been caught giving what appears to be the Nazi salute and posting the picture to social media, reports the Indianapolis Star.
The students appear to attend Zionsville Community High School, which is investigating the incident. The photo was shot in the school auditorium and several of the teenagers are wearing Zionsville jerseys, the “Rumblin’ Bumblers” soccer team.

A student sent the photo to a teacher, who alerted the school superintendent Scott Robison. Robison called the picture “sickening.”

films of troops entering concentration camps. Or maybe teaching history again.
I read that 66% of teens don't know what Auschwitz was.

Two-thirds of American millennials surveyed in a recent poll cannot identify what Auschwitz is, according to a study released on Holocaust Remembrance Day that found that knowledge of the genocide that killed 6 million Jews during World War II is not robust among American adults.

Twenty-two percent of millennials in the poll said they haven’t heard of the Holocaust or are not sure whether they’ve heard of it — twice the percentage of U.S. adults as a whole who said the same.

Hit those two links and you will read all you want about the film that is described. It is true horror. I showed it to my high school students, at least 35 times. It is embedded in my brain forever. You are warned, this is real horror. It is the one these stupid kids, and the stupid person who took the picture need to see. If I could be sure that they would watch it, I would buy the film and send it to them. Twenty dollars well spent. Oh................
.............................if you want to see it without spending a cent, go to the library and take it out...yes,...
.............................Night and Fog is at the Library.........................(most libraries that have historical films, and documentaries, have this one........You are warned...it is truly horrific....32 minutes..........

but it is Indiana, so they are probably fine with it.

My kid did this? I would be both angry and ashamed, but all three seem to have gained a different world view than these kids.

Or as my 17 year old son just said as he went past me..."What the fuck is wrong with those guys? Are they giving a nazi salute? Assholes!".

For many teachers in the HS it must be a kick in the gut that their students are so ignorant. And your son is correct, what the fuck is wrong with those guys?
