I guess you missed the point where they said it wasn’t racist. Keep the fight alive, Paul.. even the blind squirrel finds a nut.

and I guess you missed the point where the okay symbol has been co-opted by white supremacist and that the administrators at West Point in the Naval Academy did the right thing and investigated.

I never said they were guilty until proven innocent so why would you feel the need to lie?

A lot of democrats and TV pundits (sorry for bring redundant) concluded it was racist immediately. Not all of them are apologizing.

So therefore anyone who flashes the OK sign, needs to be investigated? You should see the kids at the bus stops in my town flashing that sign at each other, you'd conclude my town is one big Klan sanctuary.

you said it was good they investigated. So to you, merely making the ok sign, is probable cause of racism. Can’t have it both ways Paul.

Yes what's the harm in asking what they meant by using a known racist sign? The Coast Guard had the same issue they asked and determined it was a racist sign and punished a Cadet in some way. Using your logic they would not have done anything and the racist would have continued to be able to make his racist sign. There's no equivalent to some 10 year olds making that sign and punching each other in the arm total false equivalency

"use of racist symbols by the people you and I are paying for to go to our schools?"

they were not using racist symbols.....if I flash you the peace sign and you get offended because you heard somewhere that some people might have used the peace sign to mean two middle fingers....it's not that I've insulted you it's that you are an idiot

you posted my response to your reply to my original post so it appears out of context. Sleazy.

A peace sign has no known racist connotations. That symbol does and if you don't know that you're an uneducated idiot
