The teachers at a Wisconsin high school where students appeared to be making Nazi salutes in a junior prom photo raised money to support educational awareness of the Holocaust.
The teachers' union at Baraboo High School decided to take the initiative after the school district decided that the 60 or so students in the photo would not be disciplined because of their freedom of speech.
The teachers made T-shirts, of various colors, that read: "No room for hate. This classroom. This school. This community. This state. This country. This world."
The teachers sold 180 T-shirts and raised $2,100 for the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, which was one of the first institutions to condemn the controversial photo and offer to help educate the district and the students, the Baraboo News Republic reported.
They wore the shirts together in December as a sign of unity.

“I think, as a union, we’re just really supportive of all the efforts that the … community, the county leadership, the city leadership, the district leadership is doing to try to — to try to make all of this right,” Kari Nelson, president of the Baraboo Education Association, told the newspaper. “We just hope this is another piece of the puzzle.”
