The Pacifica High School Chapter Of Future Fascists Of America

Orange County is not what it used to be, a Republican conservative stronghold, the other side of the "Orange Curtain." It's more purple than red now. Nevertheless, it IS where there are still a lot of anti-everything GOP types who fit the old stereotype. And their kids tend to end up in the news for things like this, some high school water polo players giving a Nazi salute while a Nazi military anthem played before an awards ceremony. One of them was proud enough to post it to Snapchat. Someone caught it. This has happened several times in recent years. Yes, they're kids and probably thought it was funny, but if you're tempted to say, well, they just need to be educated about the Holocaust, they DO learn about it. It's why they think it's funny -- they WANT to insult people. They KNOW they're being anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant and anti-Latino. That's why they're laughing. The school won't do much to punish them (and won't say what they did do -- it's all a giant secret). And their parents are just like them. It's what's left of the old Orange County. (The Daily Beast)
