Question: What would lead a group of high school students to form a human swastika on their school's football field, then paste images of it on social media — along with an infamous quote from Nazi madman Adolf Hitler? Answer — as I see it: Indoctrination by antisemitic teachers.
Otherwise, I doubt that the kids who did just that would otherwise know very little about the atrocities committed by Hitler and his equally-Jew-hating Nazis.
The disgusting antisemitic stunt occurred at Branham High School in San Jose, California. While the school's administrators scrambled to say all the right things after the clear display of Jew hatred went public, the salient question is how such almost-celebratory antisemitism managed to thrive at a prestigious Silicon Valley school that never misses a chance to preach “inclusivity.”
The image is blatant:
Eight male students are sprawled on the field, proudly arranged in the form of a swastika, with four students forming the inner core of the infamous "crooked cross," while the other four complete its arms, turning the field into a disgusting symbol of the systematic murder of an estimated six million Jewish men, women, and children by Hitler's Nazis during World War II.

It Gets Worse
The hateful photo was then shared on Instagram with the following infamous quote from Hitler:
I want to be a prophet again today. If international financial Jews inside and outside Europe were to succeed in plunging nations into a world war once again, the result will not be Bolshevization of the earth and thus a victory for Judaism, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe. The world may laugh at this statement; many laughed at my words back then. But time will show that there is more truth to this prophecy than today’s adversaries can love. Nations will rise against those who push them into conflict, chaos and destruction.
Here's more:
A casual perusal of the Branham High Instagram page gives the impression of an all-American multicultural experience, with posts highlighting holiday toy drives, student concerts, and sporting events. But lurking beneath this polished veneer, a disgusting well of Jew hatred has been brewing.
This past April, the California Department of Education concluded that two ethnic studies teachers at Branham High violated the state’s education code and discriminated against Jewish students.
In one class, the ethnic studies teacher (described as “Teacher A” in the Department of Education’s report) led a “community circle” during which they showed students an extremely biased video featuring Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss who “gives his explanation of the difference between Judaism and Zionism and is seen wearing a Palestinian flag that says, ‘A Jew is not a Zionist’ and below the Palestinian flag is an Israeli flag with a red cross over the Star of David.”
Yet another reminder that the Left's definition of "inclusivity" is a mockery of the actual definition.

About That 'Scrambling to Say the Right Things'
So what's a school administration to do when students do such things? Lie to appease the public, with zero intention to stomp out the indoctrination that led to such a disgraceful act?
Here's principal Beth Silbergeld:
Our message to the community is clear: this was a disturbing and unacceptable act of antisemitism. Actions that target, demean, or threaten Jewish students have no place at Branham. Many in our community were rightly appalled by the image.
Personally, I am horrified by this act. Professionally, I am confident and hopeful that our school community can learn from this moment and emerge stronger and more united.
We are responding in accordance with education code and our district’s commitment to restorative justice. The students who were involved are committed to taking accountability for the harm that was done.
Uh-huh. With due respect, shut up.
It's hard to comprehend how these kids would have made such a shameful decision if they weren't first indoctrinated by antisemitic teachers, with the principal and her administration surely aware of what they were teaching (indoctrinating).
Interesting, isn't it, how when leftists get caught, they often backpedal? Publicly, that is. Meanwhile, in most cases, I'd wager a hefty bet that behind the public eye, the band plays on.
