Students at elite Sidwell Friends projected swastikas during assembly

By Perry Stein Perry Stein Reporter covering D.C. education Email Bio Follow March 7 at 6:38 PM High school students at the elite Sidwell Friends School displayed swastikas during an afternoon assembly Wednesday, the head of the D.C. private academy informed families in a letter.

Students responded by using their cellphones, and their answers were projected on large screens. But the projections were quickly turned off when an administrator saw that two of the students’ usernames included swastikas. Several other usernames expressed racist views of Asians and Native Americans, according to the letter.

Ellis Turner, associate head of the school, said in November that a teacher led an etymology lesson about the naming of the Nazi political party. The teacher did not erase his notes from the whiteboard, and, after the class, someone found a swastika drawn next to the notes. Last month, a teacher discovered a canopy cut in the shape of a swastika at Mount Daniel Elementary School in Falls Church, Va. Two other swastikas were found in Northern Virginia that same week — one spray-painted onto a drainage tunnel in Fairfax County and another traced with a racial slur into snow in a yard in Loudoun County.

Doesn't seem that 'friendly.'

Ironically the motto of the Sidwell Friends School is: 'Eluceat Omnibus Lux' (let the light shine out from all)

Wonder what the real story is - keeping in mind what WaPo did to the Covington student.

This is deeply troubling.

Not a lot of politicians on either side to condemn that antisemitism. Hey, realDonaldTrump say hi, they’re your people! Very fine people I bet!

Soon we'll get headlines like 'Books Were Found With Swastikas at School' : 'The books were found in the history section in the library, in a subsection titled WWII. An apology has been emailed to parents and the offending items removed.'

MAGA🤢🤢🤢

... they probably don’t know how to read Latin, don’t have a clue of the origin of swastika, how Hitler damaged it. .... full of earth flat believers, antivax, climate change deniers with the NRA and maga .🙄 how I hate these Nazis

The sad part is that these children of privilege have little regard it awareness of the hundreds of thousands of Americans who paid the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that their grandchildren wouldn’t succumb to these same Nazis who they apparently idolize.

Good to see that Sidwell Friends is worth the 40 plus thousand a year.

Probably just trying to freak out the media. The news is about as dumb as dirt and fall for every trick in the book.

Yet another FakeHateCrime by liberals.

We’re rotting.

The school known for enrolling children of dignitaries, politicians, and corporate elites, how repugnant!

Interesting, lets discuss the democratic party Anti-Semitic stance. They are more dangerous.

They are the ringleaders of a dangerous Nazi faction. Brand them as untouchables forever

Kids draw swastikas on desks and books all the time... this is not national news.

At a Quaker school? Ooof.

What?

So... maybe not quite elite after all

College professor praised after photo of him caring for student's baby during class goes viralDr. Nathan Alexander said baby Assata was 'extremely well-behaved' during his 50-minute lecture on Friday. Yes. Imagine the success for women that would be possible if they had the childcare advantages shown to the male student involved. Generally, if women bring babies to class, they are considered inept at managing their commitments. We need universal child care options.
