Elementary School Attacked by Jews for Using Nazi Eagle as School Logo

These Jews, man.

They just never stop complaining.

The Cobb County School District in Georgia, US, has backtracked on a new logo for its East Side Elementary School featuring an eagle design, after parents and local Jewish groups complained it resembled a Nazi “war eagle” symbol. 

“The roll-out of this logo has been halted, and we are immediately reviewing needed changes,” the district said in a statement released on Tuesday. “We understand and strongly agree that similarities to Nazi symbolism are unacceptable. Although this design was based on the US Army colonel’s eagle wings, stakeholder input has been and continues to be important to our schools.”

The district added that it would be “immediately reviewing needed changes” to the design.

The offending logo featured a stylized gray eagle with the letters ES contained in a hexagon within its body, along with the school’s founding year 1952 and its location in Marietta, Georgia. The district originally released the images with the explanation that the logo was “chosen to represent the Eagle soaring into excellence and to honor the history of our great school!”

East Side parent Stacy Efrat, who is Jewish, told local media that she wanted to see the school not only ditch the logo but issue a “direct apology to our community. Not just the Jewish community but the entire community.” The school must “immediately apologize and remove” the offending logo, as well as admit its similarity to the Nazi war eagle, she said.

Rabbi and fellow East Side parent Amanda Flaks told local media she was “very hurt on a lot of levels” by the school’s redesigned emblem and called the principal demanding an apology, which she received. The school also sent her images of what East Side Elementary’s newly-minted logo was supposed to be based on.

Tell us about your levels of hurt, rabbi – and I’ll tell you about the way Jews have hurt me.

The eagle doesn’t even look like a Nazi logo.

You’re just not allowed to have eagles anymore?

Because of the Holocaust?

No, I mean, honestly – whoever designed that logo probably did take a bit of inspiration from the Germans.

But who cares? That’s funny and cool.
