I kind of doubt a high school student in this day and age would have a clue, anymore than Prince Harry did http://www.time.com/time/specials/pa...076811,00.html it's a little like a young elementary student saying a "bad" word.
It's true that the Nazis stole swastikas, but they've become associated with them. I think that the average high school student isn't likely to be aware of that. I doubt that they didn't know what it meant, and if they didn't, I almost find that worse. At least when little kids say bad words, they have the excuse of being young.
