As a Jew, the swastika is an image that should repel me. But as a decades-long lover of Eastern religions, I understand the history and true intent of this ancient symbol. In the East, the swastika is actually supposed to bring good luck.

Anyone who expects to be able to display a swastika in school without being held accountable for the backlash is pretty ignorant.
People today are ignorant, and you are asked to leave school because said symbol disturbs the learning environment. >
