Well, isn't this special. I'd really be upset if the students identified the perpertrator and beat him (her?) to a pulp.

"On Sunday night, she said she was considering contacting her congressman, Robert Wexler (D-Fla.)."
I'm just curious as to what she expects her congressman to do about this.

Of one thing you can be sure; Bob Wexler will say something stupid and self-aggrandizing to the largest possible audience/media outlet.

Oops! She put the swastikas on her own door. Kinda explains the whole "I'm calling my congressman" thing... |

Hang on a tick. The other student has been barred from campus and may face criminal charges, but the student who drew them on her own door is not facing legal action or student judicial action? Did I read that right? Hmm, that seems a bit off. I believe hoyarooter's beating may still be in order for both. |

Were they drawn backwards? Can a swastika be drawn backwards? If so, a WG student will manage to do so.

A swastika can be drawn "backwards." The symbol itself is an ancient one, long predating the Nazi party, and can be drawn with the ends of the central cross going in either direction. The Nazi version of the swastika "goes clockwise" so one could actually draw the other type, and it would be "backwards" if one meant to draw the Nazi symbol.

Bad timing for Reverend Al: WaPo: Civil Rights Leaders Repeat Call for March"It is our feeling that with the increased amount of hate crimes and hate signs -- hanging nooses, swastikas -- that have gone on around this country unaddressed . . . this Justice Department has been silent, and absent . . . on the cases of civil rights in our times," Sharpton said. |

What a complete mess. When people start calling for the Justice Department to enforce civil rights all over some stupid hoax, it denigrates the actual work that must be done in the civil rights realm. With so many substantive inequalities, this is just another layer to the smokescreens that prevent any valuable progress in the direction of real equality.
I'd love to know what this person was thinking? What was the angle or benefit to doing this?

This chick = colossal idiot. Period.
But am I reading this correctly... she "only" drew three of the swastikas on her door? As dumb as that is, it still doesn't explain the other swastikas around campus, the slur on the black engineering group's poster, and whatever else they mentioned.
By no means am I excusing her conduct, but it sounds like WG has some serious problems.
