An 11-year-old Tennessee girl who told her classmates to stop making the Nazi salute was sent to the principal’s office, her father said in a tweet in which he asked the public to send her messages of support.

Keith Jacks Gamble, chair of the Department of Economics and Finance at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreeboro, Tennessee, posted his request on Tuesday.

Gamble said that a student at his daughter’s McFadden School of Excellence in Murfreesboro was assigned to play Hitler for the school’s Living History project and to make the Sieg Heil salute. After students started to make the salute all over school, his daughter told them privately that she thought it was wrong.

At the final rehearsal for project, students returned “Hitler’s” salute, leading Gamble’s daughter to shout “Stop it, put your hands down!” His daughter was removed from the room for being “disrespectful,” according to a timeline Gamble posted in a screenshot on Twitter. She was then sent to the principal’s office.

“Each time, my daughter spoke out even though she was told by a teacher ‘not to address it.’ She has been bullied by classmates and targeted personally with Nazi salutes, so school feels lonely sometimes,” Gamble tweeted.

The screenshots show that a teacher told Gamble’s wife that their daughter was given “an open platform at that time to appropriately voice her concerns and share with her peers her feelings, then she was asked to not address it again.”

Not surprising that Bellamy invented a salute that later found its way to the fascists. He was a dyed-in-the wool socialist, and perverted minds think alike. Read Looking Backwards and tell me I’m mistaken.

The fascists being just a different flavor of socialist then it makes sense they’d adopt the salute.

Really, either salute has the same basis. A proper military salute starts at the forehead and radiates forward. It’s saying “I have a head and a mind of my own, but you are my superior officer, and I defer my judgment to yours, sir!”

The fascist/Bellamy salute pointedly avoids even approaching the head. The arm simply goes up, as if to say, “I do what I’m told! I’m just a cog in your machine, mein fuhrer! Thought? Thought is the enemy of action!”

Bellamy invented the only version of socialism even remotely salable to the American people at that time, because he was also a protestant minister, and because his pledge of allegiance included the word “under G-d” in it. Now, after decades of mis-education, a whole generation of fuzzy cheeked young-uns is attracted to plain old atheistic socialism, including the gutter tactics usually associated with fascism under the guise of anti-fascism. It’s disgusting. I can’t see myself returning to America any time soon except for an emergency.
