So how do your kids school Celebrates the Russian revolution

On my 8th grade graduation we marched out to the Tannhauser March by Wagner.


Catchy tune!

I found out later it was one of Hitlers favorites.

Does that make me a nazi?

My extremism is from eating crap all my life, not from my schooling.

Yes.

I do not see this incident as some sort of indoctrination.

That is because you are not from the world of yubba

Some get a bit overzealous. Some call it a passion. Other call it lunacy.

Thanks, just checking.

All jokes aside, I do not understand why this would take place.

I am left leaning,(though I am listed as independant on my voter registration) and abhor outright communism.

Although what is implied is that this is some sort of lefty conspiracy, to indoctrinate, and I am not buying it.

Take it from someone who has been known to strap on a tinfoil hat, and discuss congressional lobbyists and our energy (oil) companies.

But you know, a fake threat is always better, and the cold war has never ended for some, just as the the Civil War never ended for others.

This was not an intentional indoctrination IMO. It was someone's idea that was executed(lack of a better word) at the wrong time and place.

I agree. I mentioned earlier it may have been in the lesson plans at the time, and just topical. Not intentional, but not good in a time of political /economical strife.

I love me some grilled bratwurst.

It could be snowing outside, and I am in the backyard firing up the grill!

In any case, the hammer and sickle have been removed from the show.

Let us hope that spilling the blood of the director and the band boosters won't be necessary. I do wonder if the school will be changing it's colors from red, white and blue to just white and blue.

It's also common for the color guard to dress for the time period - like the olive military-style uniforms the guard wears for this field show, Harbaugh said. It's not only about the music, she added, but also about the visual elements.
