Last week, a group of kids at a Florida middle school tried to declare Thursday “Kick a Jew Day.” According to the Naples News, ten students at North Naples Middle School sent around an e-mail on Wednesday night telling classmates that if they saw someone Jewish, they should deliver a kick. The kids have all been suspended, and now, instead of reading for 20 minutes during homeroom, all the students in the school will have to watch videos about bullying and take lessons in respect and kindness. Maybe they were just jealous after “Hug a Jew Day” earlier this month.
