Sick, anti-semitic "prank" at home of friend of Jon Lovitz

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/comedian-jon-lovitz-says-anti-semitic-prank-no-210812430.html

Comedian Jon Lovitz is known for making people laugh, but he has expressed outrage at an anti-Semitic high school prank involving maple syrup.

Swastikas and the word "Jew" were drawn and written in syrup in front of the home of Lovitz's childhood friend in Northridge, California. Three girls from Nobel Middle School have reportedly been expelled as a result, according to CBS Los Angeles. Lovitz first broadcast the incident on Twitter:

"Some coward & idiot left this on a friend's doorstep, yesterday. This is an insult to all of us," he wrote.

The prank also included feces left on the property's doorstep and toilet paper in the trees. The owners of the home are Holocaust survivors.

I just read that although the media is being told the girls were "expelled," they were merely transferred to another intermediate school.
