St. Louis Middle School’s “Hit A Jew Day” Inspires Underwhelming Mirth

Not Good

Do you think that this is what Khamenei meant when he called on Muslims to rise up and “hit Israel in the face” over the February Gaza Op?

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.”… three dozen Jewish students were hit on the shoulders or backs. But in one case, a student allegedly 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.”

Actually this is just playground out-grouping gone one step too far. I wouldn’t even blog it except I’m sick of seeing that stupid Khamenei link every time I open up the “toblog / iran” folder.
