Racist views toward Asians and Native Americans were also expressed, the school said.
By Perry Stein Perry Stein Reporter covering D.C. education Email Bio Follow March 7 at 6:38 PM High school students at the elite Sidwell Friends School displayed swastikas during an afternoon assembly Wednesday, the head of the D.C. private academy informed families in a letter.
Students responded by using their cellphones, and their answers were projected on large screens. But the projections were quickly turned off when an administrator saw that two of the students’ usernames included swastikas. Several other usernames expressed racist views of Asians and Native Americans, according to the letter.
Ellis Turner, associate head of the school, said in November that a teacher led an etymology lesson about the naming of the Nazi political party. The teacher did not erase his notes from the whiteboard, and, after the class, someone found a swastika drawn next to the notes. Last month, a teacher discovered a canopy cut in the shape of a swastika at Mount Daniel Elementary School in Falls Church, Va. Two other swastikas were found in Northern Virginia that same week — one spray-painted onto a drainage tunnel in Fairfax County and another traced with a racial slur into snow in a yard in Loudoun County.
