A New Jersey school district and local police are investigating antisemitic Snapchat posts allegedly made by a group of high school students.
The posts reportedly came from several freshman at Manalapan High School in Monmouth County.
In the posts, which were first reported by InsiderNJ, the students said they planned to dress as “little kids from the Holocaust” and Adolf Hitler for Halloween. Another wrote that they had “filled [their] vape [with] gas from the Holocaust.”
Among other horrifying comments, one student said that they wanted to “kill every last one,” in seeming reference to Jewish people, while another wrote that they intended to send someone “the TikTok of the gas chamber thing” if she said “one more [word] to me that pisses me off.”
Freehold High School Regional School District Superintendent Nicole Hazel said the online activity is being investigated by the district and police.
“We are aware of antisemitic posts that were made outside of school by some of our students in our school district,” Hazel wrote in a message on the district’s website. “We are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness and taking immediate, comprehensive and decisive action.”
The names of the students, who were reportedly suspended for two weeks, were not released in compliance with state and federal privacy laws.
