Three high school girls in Maine are in trouble this week after an anonymous letter was sent to school administrators detailing their anti-semitic tweets. The letter included a photo of the girls giving a Nazi salute<\/a> while in their basketball uniforms. <\/p>\n

It’s been reported that the girls often refer to one in the group as “Hitler”; the tweets included posts like, “So Jewish to have prac on Christmas Eve day” and “If —- picked me up, she would’ve made me do sprints, then put me in a gas chamber”. The school’s principal, Dan McKeone, said the girls have already been disciplined<\/a> but declined to give details. <\/p>\n

“These were kids that made a mistake, and they learned from it, and they’re moving forward,” McKeone said.<\/p>\n

The incident has shocked the community and has drawn criticism from a local Jewish rights group.<\/p>\n

“When situations like this come up when students are using prejudiced and intolerant speech and actions, it shows that the school really needs to seriously institute anti-bias, anti-bullying education and curriculum,” said Emily Chaleff<\/a>, executive director of the Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine.<\/p>\n
