Nah. 99%.
i have been telling people that as soon as polls show blacks moving to Trump, there will be fake hate crimes every single week on national news. They’ll never follow-up on the real culprits.
Really, what language is this in???
The fact that it's a hoax isn't important, it's the seriousness of hate crimes that's the issue here. /s
The flag was displayed in a classroom where WWII history was being taught.
Thirty words spoken and nothing said.
Now in production at the school theater: The Sound of Music”
“Who buys such things and brings them to a school????”
No kidding. I attended public school for 12 years. In all that time, I don’t ever recall seeing an actual Nazi flag in school. Anybody?
60 years ago when I was a wee lad, I remember a news story about a person almost going to jail over a Nazi flag. Some soldier snuck it back from the war. His wife came across it, washed it, and hung it on the clothesline in her back yard between two sheets. The wind blew the sheets to where neighbors could see the flag and they called the police.
Apparently it was against the law to display that flag at the time, at least in that locale if not everywhere.
That might the basic problem - history is being taught in the classroom. Students that know history are not as well suited to be dumb sheep that will vote as their masters direct.

He might have been better off if he smuggled back an MG-42
Let's post pictures of Trump supporters or Trump hanging from a tree at some school.... then run to ABC News demanding they run with the hate crime story.
My guess? ABC News will investigate first.. but with liberals? They fall for the hoax every time... ('cause it works for democrats and they're the thug arm of the democrat party)
Poor taste, maybe. But, it is illegal, by what law?
At the time, most of the male teachers and administrators in that district had been in the service during either WWII or Korea, and a few of them also contributed. For a small-town midwestern school district, the amount of souvenirs and vet bring-backs was surprising.
We kids also found out that plenty of our classmates' dads were a hell of a lot tougher customers in their younger days than we gave some of them credit for.
“He might have been better off if he smuggled back an MG-42”
My dad got back with an SS Ceremonial dagger with scabbard, a Luger and a Walther PPK .32. Also, captured German military Maps which he later donated to his outfit’s museum. (2nd Armored Cav, “Brave Rifles”.

We had a history teacher at my school who was a great collector of historical artifacts from all time periods. When he came to a certain period in US history(especially when he was dealing with international conflict), he used to put the flags of all the “’belligerents” up on his wall. One of those was the flag of Nazi Germany on the “Axis” wall. He did this for many, many years. Nobody was ever stupid enough to call him a Nazi or assume he was shilling for fascism. I wander what the circumstances were at this school.
I doubt it’s even “poor taste”. It’s not that uncommon for us history teachers to display the flags of the “belligerents” when they teach about international conflict during different periods.
