It is a little poorly worded, but if you read carefully the girl who was assigned to play Hitler was not the same girl who got upset and was sent to the principal’s office.

So the girl who got “overly upset” was not the one being razzed by the students making the hand gesture.

So I would disagree with you. The girl who was sent to the principal’s office was not upset about being bullied. She was upset that other students were making a Nazi gesture.
