A high school band director has apologized for a halftime performance that included “Deutschland Uber Alles,” the anthem closely associated with Adolf Hitler, and a student running across the field with a Nazi flag. The band director was quoted as saying “We had an error in judgment.”
You think so? Jeez, buddy… Needless to say, there were nearly riots during the performance, and the school district is playing like “Oh, we didn’t even think about this making people mad.” Idiots. A Star Telegram columnist had some good comments about things, too.
But really: When is it ever a good time to show a Nazi flag? Not only that, but how in the hell did they get a hold of one to begin with? They’re not something you can just buy in any Wal-Mart.
Thanks to Barney for the tip.
