A Los Altos summer camp is canceling all sessions over a controversy involving a swastika.
Several employees of Hidden Villa, including the camp’s director, resigned last week over tiles that depict a Buddhist swastika and a lotus flower -- which decorate a building at the camp.
The camp administration says the tiles were added to the building back in 1929, before Nazi Germany co-opted the symbol. It says when community members raised concerns about the tiles, the camp held a discussion and ultimately removed them. But, by then, the staff had resigned, leading the camp to cancel all sessions.
