Texas schools don't be racist for one goddamn day challenge (impossible)

quote:

In 2003, a high school marching band from Paris, Texas, played the "Horst-Wessel-Lied" while waving a Nazi flag at a football match at Hillcrest High School in Dallas. The performance coincided with the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah. The performance, which was meant to symbolize the history of World War II and also included musical selections and flags from Japan, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States, was greeted with boos from the audience which threw objects at the band. The school superintendent apologized to the Dallas school district and removed the flag from future performances of the composition.[56]

It's too bad, cause it's a pretty simple and elegant geometric symbol and you just can't use it (at least in Western culture) anymore. This shape is simply not allowed. How weird

But that's how it is. I just had this discussion with a student who designed a project that included two identical "lightning bolts" in its form. That's another one you just can't do

Dan O'Conor, son of the inventor, continued as president of Formica Corp. after the acquisition, and was widely regarded as the next chairman of American Cyanamid. However, he was thrown from his horse during a steeplechase event, suffering a broken neck and becoming quadriplegic, ending his business career and, many executives felt, preventing Cyanamid from achieving the growth and profitability it might have.[original research?]
