Kindergartener Nazis?

Encouragingly, someone used black to cross out the "SS" lightning bolt tag in yellow chalk on the wall next to the pay phone on Lincoln Street, and wrote "Kill Nazis" underneath. It is a good practice to cross out racist and nazi graffiti, even if it is written in chalk. Crossing out racist graffiti allows passerby to see that there is that element out there, and also opposition to it, whereas merely covering it up makes the problem invisible.

For those unfamiliar, "SS" refers to Nazi Germany's Schutzstaffel, the paramilitary force that ran the concentration camps (among other functions), and is a common Neo-Nazi symbol.
