Students of “various races, ethnicities, genders and grades” were seen flashing the upside-down “OK,” schools chief Joylynn Pruitt-Adams told parents, students and staff in an email Monday about the Oak Park and River Forest High School, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Doesn't this statement pretty much negate the whole issue?

School officials said last week that they had not yet spoken to the students who made the hand gestures and could not talk about any possible punishments. And Monday’s email offered little clarification.

“Those pages were reviewed and shipped to the printer in early December, before the gesture was widely known to have any association with white nationalism,” Pruitt-Adams said. “I want to be clear that we are not making any presumptions about students’ intent in using the gesture.”

Isn't the bolded text in this snip pretty much a contradiction?

Yay, educators! Yay!

Utter crap. From soup to nuts, utter crap.

Getting folks to believe the hashtag (#) is a pro-Nazi symbol. To put Twitter to the test, I guess.
