New Hampshire high school students were marked with sharpies based on their vaccination status for their senior prom, outraging some parents and a local lawmaker who said the move was akin to a scarlet letter.
Exeter High School, about 30 miles east of Manchester, hosted its senior prom during the first weekend of June and marked any student who didn’t have a vaccination card with a black sharpie while those who had gotten the jab were given a red mark, NBC Boston reported.
“If they were on the dance floor they had to raise their hands after every three songs so their numbers could be recorded by other underclass students for contact tracing purposes. There’s even more to the story, but this alone is surprising to us,” a concerned constituent told Rep. Melissa Litchfield (R-New Hampshire), according to a June 8 Facebook post.
One constituent likened the marking to a “scarlet letter” and asked Litchfield to go to the school board about it.
What no yellow star badges??
That’s racist.
And most Sharpies use black ink. Isn’t that racist to use black ink to mark a kid who hasn’t taken the jab? Do they use pink or rainbow colored Sharpies on LBTQ freaks?
Sue the school district for revealing personal, private medical information to everyone.
on the right hand or the forehead, like in the Book of Revelation?
Being the HS asshole that I was, I would have gone out, gotten red and black sharpies, and started cross-marking or over-marking everyone that wanted to have some subversive “fun”, making the initial markings meaningless. Or put a different mark on each hand. One raise of hands? Raise the right one. Next raise of hands? Raise the left one.
Where’s the Yellow Star? The NAZIS (Democrats) in America need to be Executed for their crimes… IMO,
