A Tennessee elementary school will “no longer feature a student portraying Hitler or the [Nazi] salute” as part of a class project about World War II after an 11-year-old was removed from her classroom last week for telling her classmates to stop Nazi saluting one another. The students at the McFadden School of Excellence in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, had been taught to do the salute in their social studies class. Gamble shared redacted versions of these emails, which he sent to the school for confirmation or amendment of the timeline. Gamble’s emails state that his daughter was upset at the instruction to give a Nazi salute and that when she noted this, she was given the opportunity to air her grievances in front of the class. At that time, 10 to 20 students responded to the Sieg Heil from the student portraying Hitler with Sieg Heils of their own.
