High Schools Decide Giving Nazi Salute In Photo Won’t Net Suspension, But Kneeling During National Anthem Will
High schools in the United States have made a series of controversial decision regarding the free speech of their students — giving a Nazi salute won’t lead to a suspension in Wisconsin, but kneeling during the national anthem will lead to one in Louisiana.
This week, a Wisconsin high school at the center of a national controversy decided that male students who appeared to give a Nazi salute in a junior prom photo will not be punished for it. As Newsweek reported, the picture showed close to 60 boys from Baraboo High School raising their arm in an apparent Nazi salute. The picture caused quite a stir after being posted to Twitter, with the photographer claiming that the students were asked to wave goodbye to their parents — a claim that was disputed by some of the students in the photo.
