(37,648 posts)The headline leads readers to think it was the fact that it was a Nazi salute that was the issue. But really, this was a case of bullying or being razzed by fellow students. They were doing the salute because of the play where the girl was playing Hitler, so the students were razzing her.
It seems she got overly upset. The article doesn't address what the school said to the students who were doing the razzing, and you KNOW the school said something. The school is also not going to do a play involving Hitler again, recognizing that it created the situation.
It would be no different from if the students in the play were supposed to make a "ffft" sound at the girl's character, in the play, and then started doing that to her when they saw her in the halls.
The only reason this was an article was because it was a Nazi salute and not a "fffft."
