Hanover superintendent apologizes for logo resembling swastika

The superintendent of Hanover schools is apologizing about the district using a logo on T-shirts and other materials that resembles a swastika.

“One of our teachers designed the logo intending for it to represent four hands and arms grasping together – a symbol of unity for our all-county professional learning conference. Nothing more,” Gill wrote in a message to families and staff. “While we are confident that the logo was created without any ill-intent, we understand that this has deeply upset members of our staff and community who see the logo as resembling a swastika.”

“We are deeply sorry for this mistake and for the emotions that the logo has evoked by its semblance to a swastika and, by extension, to the atrocities that were committed under its banner,” Gill wrote. “Unquestionably, we condemn anything associated with the Nazi regime in the strongest manner possible.”

1. I'm fairly certain my 5-year-old grandson could tell that design resembles a swastika

You mean to tell me that nobody who saw that logo said anything about it?

2. Well, not to pick on Hanover County......

There are some tremendously MAGA reds out there. Just north of Richmond. Where white people go to avoid….you know.

I play golf at a course out there and there permanent signs (4x4 in ground posts) decrying Benghazi Pelosi you name it. Buddies of mine, the first time we played there, got out of their cars as we met in the parking lot and said “Sweet Jesus. What’s with those crazy signs? Where the hell are we?”.

3. Imagine that no one noticed that resemblance

It was my very first thought.

4. Looks a lot more like a swastika than "four hands and arms grasping together".

5. Now they just have to apologize for the picture going around twitter.

Where someone put up a Youngkin political sign in the facility.

Also, saw this on Twitter feeds and didn't think it was in VA but sure enough.
