California high schoolers who formed human swastika will face 'justice,' principal says

Students who formed a human swastika on a high school football field and spread imagery of the spectacle online will face administrative "justice" this week, the school's principal said

Students who formed a human swastika on a high school football field and spread imagery of the spectacle online will face administrative "justice" this week, the school's principal said.

A photo of the swastika, formed on-field last week, was shared through an anonymous tip line Wednesday night, before it spread online Thursday, sparking a probe, Branham High School Principal Beth Silbergeld said.

“We are responding in accordance with education code and our district’s commitment to restorative justice,” she said in a statement over the weekend. “The students who were involved are committed to taking accountability for the harm that was done."

The California Department of Education said it plans to offer "statewide resources" to Branham High School as it investigates and responds.

“We unequivocally condemn the use of any hate symbol such as a swastika on a school campus," department spokesperson Liz Sanders said in a statement Monday night.
