A Chicago-area principal at Jones\u00a0 College Prep was suspended over his handling of a student’s wear of a “Nazi” uniform on Halloween. This is a surprisingly knotty one – not as easy to judge as you may think.\u00a0 The prinicipal, Joseph Powers, tried to take the middle road… and thereby proved the adage that if you don’t take sides and try taking a center line, you will get run over.<\/p>\n

…Joseph Powers, but Powers explained to students the boy was dressed as a Communist-era East German soldier, Powers wrote Monday in a note to staff.\u00a0 Boing Boing<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On the one hand, the principal is shackled by that whole ugly freedom-of-speech self-expression thing the kids treasure nowadays – unless said freedom of speech disagrees with theirs. He could have sent the kid home, only to get sued for everything including his eyeballs because the uniform was a treasured inheritance from Grandpa in some Balkan fiefdom who died fighting the real Nazis, right?<\/p>\n

Well, that turned out not to be the case. Although the uniform is identified as a 1980’s dress border guard uniform, when\u00a0 the kid who wore it put it on parade, across the stage he goose-stepped across the stage and threw a Nazi-style salute. Pretty damn sloppy one, and I’m not sure anyone would consider this a stiff right arm.<\/p>\n

Now, I am sure everyone has noted that the lack of coal-scuttle helmet is a dead giveaway that this is not Nazi-era, right? The East Germans did retain the goose-step, so the kid was actually correct. But now if it is even mistakenly perceived as Nazi, it is, whether it is or not.\u00a0 There is more history with this kid, so all the students are real upset. It is being called racist, anti-semitic, and for all I can tell, unsanitary.<\/p>\n

Twitter user\u00a0tmg__alex<\/a>\u00a0documented the event, and shared<\/a>\u00a0that the student in question has “a history of racist, sexist, and now anti-semitic behavior. he’s been seen wearing clothing promoting anti-black slogans such as back the blue, blue lives matter, lets go brandon, etc.” Boing Boing<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh my Lord, this kid is conservative! NOW I see why all the tar and feathers are out.<\/p>\n
