""I'm still just processing it - I'm like these people go to our school, and they're basically just like putting this like hateful ideology and language out there shamelessly," Maysel said."
""I ended up attending a meeting with teachers after, and I expressed how this made me feel unsafe and like threatened, and their support and feelings about it were just so generous," Maysel said."
Eight Branham High School students arranged themselves on the football field into a swastika and posted the image to Instagram accompanied by a Hitler quote. San Jose police opened an investigation into the incident. The image circulated locally and nationally and left students feeling unsafe and threatened. School meetings involved teachers and administrators who provided support and emphasized addressing impact as well as intent. The Campbell Union High School District labeled the swastika an unmistakable symbol of genocide, hatred, and antisemitism and classified the event as an instance of hate violence.
