How could a high school football coach think anti-Semitic play calls were appropriate?

There are hundreds of thousands of words in Merriam-Webster's hardcover dictionary, plus an infinite number of expressions like team names and admired athletes that aren't in the massive book.

Yet, with so many options at his disposal, the head football coach at Duxbury High in Massachusetts reportedly went with "Auschwitz," "Hitler" and "Holocaust" for some of his audible calls.

Auschwitz, as in the Nazi concentration and extermination camp where at least 1.1 million Jewish people were mercilessly killed during World War II. Hitler, as in the man who ordered the construction of death camps like Auschwitz. Holocaust, as in one of the worst atrocities in human history.

Of all the words available to him, these are ones that Dave Maimaron had his Duxbury players use.

gave permission for these assholes to emerge from the shadows and terrorize polite society. It is not, ok.

2. Why didn't every teacher complain about this. I hope the social studies' teachers talked to their

Students about how destructive such behavior is.

4. I am a social studies teacher. I am Jewish. I would have been livid and screaming at people

over this.

I lost family in the Holocaust and have documentation to prove it.

Just like my wife's family was brutalized during the Rape of Nanking.

6. I'm sure a lot could be taught that isn't. If I had it to do all over again, I'd be a history

Teacher so I could tell it like it was and explain what's needed for a democracy and what will destroy it.

8. If you try, you get attacked by people who scream Critical Race Theory indoctrination

5. I am sorry, but the teacher in me really wants to mark your spelling of in correct

incorrect.
