Some 40 students trained in peer mediation and race relations are helping other students, Karlin said. Teachers will also be trained to recognize symbols and clothing of hate groups. School officials are now working on a dress code that would prohibit certain attire and jewelry. Karlin said he's been told that a few kids have swastika tattoos, or wear bracelets with the letters SS, symbolizing the Nazi Gestapo. I've seen no outward signs of them in the school.
Most students say there are only a handful of hatemongers.
There are a few idiots in school. A few students, however, said racial tension runs so high that they are scared to walk the halls. I'm so afraid. I've been threatened three times. One girl came up to me and said I better watch my back.
