In an email, Glen Ellyn resident Amy Grandsard called the student's behavior "unacceptable" and "frightening,"
"Are political statements and inferences and flags now allowed at Glenbard South graduation? Would you allow a student to pull out a Nazi flag and walk across the stage and have them photographed with their diploma holding this piece of propaganda," she wrote. "Both flags have same message. Kill the Jews. What will the consequences be?"
"You allowed this student to walk across the stage, display the Palestinian flag, and be photographed. What a disgrace," she said.
