Crystal City Texas had an internment camp for families...1/3 were German women and children...a few captured in North Africa...I believe...the children were put in school classes correct for their ages and taught in German...
or English
(as a teacher several years ago...I would ask my students if they thought the kids began their day with a

pledge of allegiance to the U.S. Flag each morning ! ( ; )

Almost all of the children held at the Crystal City internment camp were native-born American citizens whose parents were alien non-citizens.[4]

The German School and the American Schools had a similar enrollment and each school educated about 350 students.[4] The Japanese School educated about 300 Latin American Japanese and Japanese American students. The Japanese School’s curriculum resembled the curriculum students in Japan received, focusing on Japanese morals, ethics and physical education.[4]

On January 24, 1946 Crystal City Internment Camp official J. L. O’Rourke closed the German and Japanese schools and ordered that all remaining students enroll in the American schools.[4]

Crystal City was a large and long lasting internment camp.
