How fucking repugnant. Time and time again we see people being punished for bringing attention to what’s happening. For daring not to kneel and kiss the Israeli ring.
Fucking cunts.

That isn’t even what happened though. It sounds like she would have given it to him to wear regardless, as it’s an important and special day, and she wanted him to get to be proud of his heritage. It’s just that because of current events the school treated it like a protest. Some teachers can be the most self-aggrandising cunts about things.

It’s some people’s heritage to wear nazi swastikas. Doesn’t mean it’s acceptable.
I don’t think wearing a symbol started by the guy who invented airplane hijacking and suicide vests for children is a good one.

Bringing attention to world events is not a problem but that is not the place for it. Schools want to be as partisan as possible and allowing kids to wear symbols of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds can make the look partial. Another reason is that these symbols have different meanings to different people. I love the eureka flag as a symbol of Victorians rising up against against injustice, unfortunately in the public eye this symbol has become synonymous with racism and hatred. This double/multiple definition means that school can’t look impartial if there are students displaying the symbol.
