A group of Venice Middle School students in the Sarasota County School District has been disciplined after chanting “(expletive) Joe Biden” on the school bus last week, and one student drew a swastika on the bus window, according to school district leaders.

According to district spokesman Craig Maniglia, five students received disciplinary referrals for inappropriate language for taking part in the chant, which has gained increased attention recently after a euphemism for the phrase, “Let’s Go Brandon” started trending.

The school principal sent a letter home to the parent of the boy who started the chant, and Maniglia said they were “very supportive” of the school’s disciplinary action.

Maniglia said one student participating in the chant also drew a swastika symbol in condensation on the window.
