Anti-Semitic Video Surfaces Featuring Mountain Brook Student
The Mountain Brook school system addressed a video that has surfaced which features a MBHS student With a swastika on his back.
MOUNTAIN BROOK, AL — A video that has made its rounds through social media recently features a Mountain Brook High School student with two large black swastikas and the word “heil” written on his back. An Alabama Media Group report said the Birmingham Jewish Federation called for Mountain Brook City Schools to address the situation.
“I’m hoping that (Mountain Brook Superintendent) Dr. Barlow will institute the Anti-Defamation League’s ‘No Place for Hate’ program in the public schools,” Birmingham Jewish Federation CEO Danny Cohn told AL.com. “If it’s happening in Mountain Brook, it’s happening in other places.”
Mountain Brook Schools said it “condemns all hateful ideologies and actions. The conduct exhibited in the video is in direct conflict with the values of the school system."
