        Teens do vandalism because they are bored and stupid, not necessarily due to being racist.

        "At least 1 of the teenagers said he did not know the symbolism of a swastika." I wonder how common that is. Happy that 📚 r answer.

        If there's ignorance of the swastika, then how much could they kno abt why it's bad? I hope it's effective.

        I'm guessing they were less ignorant that "white power" and act of defacing itself were wrong ...

        I really couldn't say. There were 3 "minority" boys and 2 white boys. They wrote "brown power", too.

        If these teenagers are anything like the ones I used to teach, you better make them read under strict supervision and w tests.

        They have to do essays for all the books they read and give them to the judge.
