Sorry but


Mo. students face punishment for `Hit a Jew Day'

By JIM SALTER – 22 hours ago

ST. LOUIS (AP) — At least four students from a suburban St. Louis middle school face punishment for allegedly hitting Jewish classmates during what they called "Hit a Jew Day."

The incident happened last week at Parkway West Middle School in Chesterfield.

District officials said Thursday they believe that fewer than 10 children of the district's 35 Jewish students were struck.

District spokesman Paul Tandy said that in most cases, the students were hit on the back of their shoulders but one student was slapped in the face.

It began with an unofficial "Spirit Week" among sixth-graders that started harmlessly enough with a "Hug a Friend Day." Then there was "High Five Day."

Soon, though, the days moved from friendly to silly. Next there was "Hit a Tall Person Day" and, finally, "Hit a Jew Day."

District officials believe a handful of children were directly involved. Those who actually struck classmates could face suspension and required counseling, Tandy said. Others who weren't directly involved but taunted Jewish students or egged on classmates could face lesser penalties.

"There is a mix of sadness and outrage," Tandy said. "The concern is a lot of kids knew about it and they didn't take action or say anything."

Karen Aroesty, St. Louis regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, said this was more than a case of bullying. Officials from the group will meet Friday with district leaders to discuss the matter.

Proof that feel good liberal hippie thinking can lead to bigotry. SMH.

If everyone was just hitting eah other to begin with nobody would be facing any hate crime penalties.

Where's the Tall Person Anti-Defamation League, I don't see them getting involved.

Where's Willco?

Hopefully his arm isn't too bruised.

interesting.


was just curious from a ratio perspective.

in other jew news, i was walking in brooklyn today with two friends and this orthodox guy approaches me with a flyer written in script asking me if i was jewish.  i think he was trying to press me to attend a conference or something

what's absolutely hilarious is that he didn't approach either of my friends who were with me who are quite jewish.

I had two separate people, one of them actually in Italian, ask if I was Italian (or speak the language) today.

Why must I be forsaken as a wop or a jew?

I have been mistaken for Israeli (when in Israel...Jew plus tan plus long wavy/curly hair does that I guess) and SOMEHOW Chinese, the latter of which made me since I do not even look remotely Asian.

The other day my wife said to me "Oh but you're Asian.  Jews come from 'middle Asia' right?"  Haha.

You're the opposite of me! I frequently get asked whether or not I'm Jewish.

Do you have black hair, white, and human? if you fit that criteria, people would think you are criteria.  People think I'm Italian, but I'm not.  I'm not even close to looking Italian.
