Orange County high school students spark outrage by making swastika from cups and giving Nazi salute
Police in Orange County are investigating an anti-Semitic image of a group of teenagers at a party that has gone viral and sparked deep concern among community leaders.
Community members have been shocked by the image, with local resident Stephanie Holland telling ABC:"My grandmother's Jewish and it makes me sad and sick to my stomach that kids would do this." Congresswoman Katie Porter, who represents the 45th District said on Twitter:"I condemn this display of a hateful, anti-Semitic symbol and call on parents and community leaders to redouble our efforts to educate young people about the history of violence against Jewish people worldwide. This has no place in Orange County."
“This is not an accidental or impulsive expression of bigotry. This was premeditated based on the group of people, the Hitler salute and the carefully arranged cups. These folks knew there was a chance this image could get out. But, there is obviously no compunction whatsoever.”
