The reports came in at an alarming pace. A student at a middle school near Milwaukee drew a stick figure with a swastika on its face. The image held a gun pointed at another stick figure, which had the name of the student's Jewish teacher on it.

A voicemail left on the phone of a leader of a local Jewish organization said, "Pack up your bags with all of your other kikes and get the f--- out of our country."

These are just two of dozens of similar incidents compiled since the beginning of 2017 by Elana Kahn, director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation. She has been collecting information about anti-Semitic incidents in Wisconsin for the past seven years.

The barrage of anti-Semitism in Wisconsin has stunned Kahn.

"I have never had so many reports (about anti-Semitism) as I have had in the last couple months," she said. "There's more fear in our community now than there was even a year ago."

1. No doubt these vile individuals have been emboldened by our racist-in-chief

And as far as the school children who are drawing Nazi stick figures, we pretty much know they're learning hatred from their parents. Too bad we no longer have a President who is willing to confront racism and lead by example.
