A California school superintendent said she's been 'subjected to death threats on a daily basis'

since launching an investigation into a photo of students posing with swastikas drawn on their bodies

Aschool superintendent from California said she's been "subjected to death threats on a daily basis" after launching an investigation into a photo showing a group of students posing with swastikas drawn on their bodies.

"This has been one of the most traumatizing experiences in my life and in the lives of my colleagues," said Wheatland Union High School District Superintendent Nicole Newman on in a video shared to Facebook on Thursday.

She and her colleagues have also received "threats that are aimed against our families," Newman added in the video.

The photo, showing eight white students with thick, black swastikas painted onto their torsos, went viral on social media. The students, some of whom are holding alcoholic beverages, appear to be at a house party. The students attend Wheatland Union High School, Newman confirmed.

a lot of them are members of these groups and even leaders. They definitely wouldn't want to be investigated.


But with the State federal and US Federals being involved they will think differently about things.


Let's hope this is happening behind the scenes.

Also the school's motto "Committed to Excellence" above skull and crossbones on a black flag flapping in the wind.



My high school's mascot was a feral horse not a feral human. The skull and crossbones is a symbol of danger and poison, not exactly something one would associate with "Committed to Excellence."
