Lainey Seyler reports In response to Nazi salute photo from Baraboo, one Milwaukee high school wants to spread a message of love:
On Friday afternoon, 50 students and about 15 staff members gathered at Milwaukee’s Rufus King High School to take a photo to spread peace. It’s a small act, but one they hope travels as far as the Baraboo photo.
The idea came from Rufus King English teacher Kelly O’Keefe-Boettcher.
“Our goal at Rufus King is to be an upstander, not a bystander,” O’Keefe-Boettcher said. “I put up the idea to take a photo, and the response was amazing. I was moved by the number of kids and staff who were there.”
So very well done.
