Hit a Jew Day

[The Batman]

Some students face possible disciplinary action, including possible suspension, following a school prank that ended with one child being slapped in the face. It happened Monday at Parkway West Middle School. Some kids called it 'Hit a Jew' Day. At least three children were hit during the incident, all of whom were Jewish. Two were tapped on the shoulder or arm, but one child was slapped in the face.
School principal Linda Lelonek said it started last week. The sixth graders decided to have a 'Hug a Friend' day. Then it was 'High-Five Day,' but teachers did not know what was going on until several kids were hit.
Lelonek called a school assembly Tuesday morning to talk about religious diversity and inappropriate behavior. And school officials promised there would be consequences for those responsible.
Educators said they do not believe the incident was done with hatred or prejudice.
There are fewer than 30 Jewish students at Parkway West Middle School, which has an enrollment of 850 students.

Well, they really didn't know what would happen when they did it. But, they should have thought that even slapping a fellow classmate in the face would lead to some sort of consequences.

I think the fact that a religious idea was brought into it should call for punishment.
Hugging friends and high-fives are alright, but hitting someone because they're Jewish is simply unacceptable.

The sheer fact that I find this hillarious prohibits me from saying anything other than it would be just as funny i it were any race against another.

wow i can't believe kids will be so racist the other day are ok but the Jew day is horrible

HAHAHAHAHA normally being Jewish, I would be pissed at this.

But this is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.

[The Batman]

It really wasn't a racist thing it was just kids trying to have fun, and on the news channel they said that none of the kids were being hit harder than a light slap. Still though the school has to try and stop this before it got out of hand.

Ha!
I'm fully against racism but that is really weird. I'm now worried about how bored you must be to think of a 'Hit a Jew' day????
Do they have anything to do? Or is america really boring?

[Whisper]

it was a joke
the parents, the teachers and the media are blowing it EXTREMELY out of proportion

[Requin]

Isn't that what the media and teachers are for??

because if you say "its hit a n***** day", in New York, next to a gang of black people, your life would be both short and full of excitement.

[The Batman]

No not all black people automatically want to fight when someone says the N-word. I for one don't care it's just a word just like any other.

Um..
Doesn't matter if it was "Slap and African-American(Canadian)" or "Hit a muslim day", you still don't do that. It's rude, inappropriate, and just...way off.

Especially since I happen to be Jewish, I just find this unbelievable. You don't go ahead and start hurting people.
