| Founder of Chile's President General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte Nazi Art School. |
CHILE---The Anti-Defamation League on Sunday
expressed outrage over plans by the administrators of an art school in Chile to promote Nazi ideology and make widespread use of the swastika. The “Art school, President General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte,” which is set to open Friday on the southern island of Chiloe, is named for the dictator who stepped down in 1990 after the South American country held democratic elections. Posters promoting the school include a swastika. Jewish community leaders, Chilean civil society groups and a lawmaker have demanded that the school, which the Jewish community called offensive, remain shuttered. The school is not recognized by the country’s Ministry of Education. There are no laws in Chile that restrict the spread of Nazi ideology. [
