I think I see the problem right there.
Side question: I wonder who played KKK leader Robert Byrd.
Yeah, that wording ‘playing Hitler’ would concern me.
All you need is one smart kid who sees his opportunity...begs for the part in the ‘play’, and gives some pitched-fever speech, and suddenly every kid in the class gets all pro-Nazi-like.
