Anti-Armenian drawing at Winchester High School prompts two students to take action
On May 30, high school juniors Alex Kebadjian and João-Cameron Hopkinson delivered a presentation to their peers at Winchester High School in Massachusetts about why, in Kebadjian’s words, Mount Ararat is “more than just a mountain” for Armenians.
The presentation was the culmination of several steps taken by the students to repair the harm inflicted by an anti-Armenian incident on campus two months earlier.

Boghos, are you writing this while you live in a Western Democratic country?
@Anonymous is a troll. His sole purpose is not to put a valid arguement or constructive criticism, put to provoke, cause infighting and sow division. This is exactly what Armenia’s enemies always do, whether it is at state level or individuals like him in news websites and the internet.
The name of the person who made the offensive drawing should be made public.
It would make this person identifiable when he/she seeks college admission or future employment.
Gary, better to teach and get them on the right side of history. I applaud the school’s response.
Great and intelligent remark. Thank you Gary.
Thank goodness for the alertness & courage of the Armenian American student and his friend.
Let’s note that America is a free country whereas Turkey & Azerbaijan are bloody, autocratic, terrorist-supporting messes where a prejudicial incident such as this one would have been ignored by the authorities or even encouraged.
That’s how Turks & Azeris are brought up by the Turkish and Azeri “educational system.”
The sick thing is, they’re actually proud of it.
No such thing as an “Azeri”, they’re all Turks.
Robert, The ‘Azeris’ are tatars or turkified persians. Azerbaijan is a creation of the bolsheviks in the early 20th century.
News to me that “armo” is a slur. I don’t believe that’s true.
