By now, you have probably heard that the children of Baraboo High school are public enemy #1, because of a picture they took at least Spring's prom.
Yes it appears, that most of the boys from the class of 2019 were giving the Nazi salute. The photographer swears that he was telling the boys to say good bye to their parents, the camera, Scott Walker, their anonymity, or whatever the story is he is telling at the time.
One of the students who was there, and did not Heil to the camera, was Jordan Blue, whose memory is different from the photographers.
"As soon as I heard the photographer say, 'Raise your hand,' I knew what was going to happen," senior Jordan Blue told CBS News correspondent Adriana Diaz. Blue, who is in the photo, refused to participate.The command to raise your hand, is almost automatically turned into a Nazi salute? I wonder why that could possibly be,....
"Did he say anything to make it clear that it was raise your hand in this way as in this Nazi symbol?" Diaz asked.
"He did not say raise your hand in a Nazi symbol way. And I'm pretty sure my classmates just interpreted as raise your hand, let's do this as a joke," Blue said, adding that he thinks the others knew what the symbol represented.
Maybe they watched the Republican National Convention, where one of the main speakers, Laura Ingraham spoke of nationalism....
Of course Ingraham has the highest rated show on Fox. Ever since she came back from her
Maybe they attended a rally for the Donald in West Bend and one of their parents bought a Nazi flag as a Souvenir.
or ran across these guys there:
Or possibly worked for the Republican Paul Nehlen Campaign. Yes, Nehlen did not come close to winning, but he was praised by The Donald for his "kind words".
Or Maybe they caught Richard Spencer's speech:
What does the head of the Alt-Right movement Richard Spencer have to do with Wisconsin? Well a student at UW-Madison wanted to start an alt-right movement on campus and was forced to go through many road blocks, which then led to Republicans Jesse Kremer and Robin Vos to pass a law that says if you disrupt a speaker at the University System you can be expelled.
The student that Vos and Kremer were writing legislation for, was convicted of arson on black churches, which definitely led to his appeal with the WISGOP.
What has the Alt-Right Movement really done, since they were also praised by the Donald as "having some really fine people " as part of their movement. I mean we can overlook the Alt-Rights role in this, all they have done is hold a White Power rally in Charlottesville, NC and shoot up a synagogue in Pittsburgh.
FYI: the guy who keeps praising the Alt-Right movement, he won Wisconsin in the last Presidential vote. Plus Wisconsin's Governor ,was the only elected official, to be a featured speaker at a White power rally in Florida and it barely made the Wisconsin Media blink.(Stormy Daniels was more exciting to cover).
Then there is far right hate radio that made fun of the whole topic:
The list goes on and on.....Whew! It had been almost four days since the left had a good hand-wringing, virtue-signaling moral panic. Thank you, Baraboo High School kids, for bringing meaning to the lives of thousands of online social justice warriors!— Dan O'Donnell (@DanODonnellShow) November 13, 2018
Did the photographer say raise your hand in a Nazi salute....I personally do not think so.
Did the Photographer ask the kids to put their hand in the air and most of them used the Nazi salute for fun....I believe so.
However, before we run to Baraboo with our Pitchforks in hand, maybe we should stop and look in the mirror first and realize all these kids are doing is modeling our behavior.
Next time you look at that picture of the Baraboo Boys with the Nazi salute, take a second look and you will see that it is just a reflection of our current society.
