A staff member at a Washington DC school has been suspended after making third-grade children reenact scenes from the Holocaust, including getting them to pretend to dig mass graves and shoot victims, and telling them the Germans were angry “because the Jews ruined Christmas,” parents and officials said Sunday.
The incident occurred Friday at the Watkins Elementary School in the US capital, the Washington Post reported Sunday, citing an email from school principal MScott Berkowitz.
The children had been in a library class working on a self-directed
project, when the staff member, who was not identified, made them
reenact scenes from the Holocaust. It was not clear what prompted her to
do so.
Keep following this story. I'm betting that, like the Holocaust-denying principal in Florida, she'll get her job back when attention has moved elsewhere.
