NO WONDER OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE FAILING

Hair Balls wonders, WTF? What the fuck is right! Whatever possessed the educated idiots in the Perryton Independent School District to approve its annual "Red Ribbon Day"? Red Ribbon? I suppose that was their version of the yellow Star of David that Jews were forced to wear by the Nazis. If the educated idiots were trying to show their students what the Jews had to go through under Hitler, they failed miserably. The Red Ribbon school exercises can in no way depict the horror Jews faced in the Nazi extermination camps. No wonder our public schools are failing.

WTF? STUDENT SUES OVER TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL’S “NAZI DAY,” SAYS HE WAS INJURED PORTRAYING A JEW

A former Texas high school student has filed a federal lawsuit saying he was injured while portraying a Jew during a Panhandle school's traditional day of Nazi roleplay.

Perryton High -- located just south of the Oklahoma border -- has an annual "Red Ribbon Day" in which half the students portray Jews in the Nazi era and are forced to obey any commands by students or teachers and be subjected to random discipline, the suit says.

The students playing Jews wear red ribbons.

"[Red ribbon students] must do everything school faculty or other students tell them to, including picking up other students' trash, being taken outside and sprayed with water hoses, bear-crawling across the hot track, carrying other students' books, and even carrying other students," says the suit, filed in federal court by Andrew Yara, 19. "Engaging in this exercise was compulsory, with it constituting 60 percent of a major test grade for students in their World History Class, and any student who did not do everything they were told were receive a failing grade."

Yara says he weighed 100 pounds and was forced to carry a 170-pound student around. He has suffered back injuries and other medical conditions, according to the suit.

Students portraying Jews were also ordered by teachers to stand against a hallway law until one of the Nazi-playing students needed them for something, the suit says.

It seeks unspecified monetary damages and attorney's fees.

We've called the Perryton ISD superintendent but haven't heard back.

Ochiltree County, where Perryton is located, appears to be short on actual Jews, by the way.
