BOY CRIES OVER BEING MADE JEW FOR A DAY

School's 'Holocaust' Experiment Upsets Parents
Eighth-graders with last names beginning with L through Z at Apopka Memorial Middle School were given yellow five-pointed stars for Holocaust Remembrance Day. Other students were privileged, the report said.

Father John Tinnelly said his son was forced to stand in the back of the classroom and not allowed to sit because he was wearing the yellow star. . . .

"He was crying," Tinnelly said. "I said, 'What are you crying about?' He said, 'Daddy, I was a Jew today.' " . . .

"They were told that they could not use the water fountains," Tinnely [sic] said. "There was even a sign supposedly at one water fountain (saying) if you're wearing a yellow star, you can't use this water fountain." . . .

"I tried to talk to my son and I asked all of these questions and the only thing he said is, 'Daddy, the only thing I found out today is I don't want to be Jewish,' " Tinnelly said.

GREAT LESSON. AND A FIVE POINTED STAR??
