Who can refuse a cupcake? (Not many of us, right?) Now, imagine receiving one decorated with a Swastika! It’s hard to believe, but this actually happened to a 14-year-old birthday girl in Phoenix. To make matters worse, the perpetrators were “friends” of hers who’d been invited to the party and proudly uploaded their despicable creation to Snapchat.

Just looking at the cupcake makes me feel violently ill. It belongs in the trash since that’s what it is! While I probably wouldn’t have dealt with it the same way this mother chose to (Facebook rant), I am glad that the media picked the story up and that it’s gone viral.

Incidents like these need to be exposed. Yes, teens make mistakes and we’ll never know for sure what the motive was. Regardless, we have to teach youngsters that this type of hateful behavior is never okay!
