(CNN)A number of employees of the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation have been suspended amid an investigation into a photograph showing a training class apparently giving a Nazi salute, officials said.
The image shows the class members each with a raised arm as the text above reads "HAIL BYRD!" The faces of the trainees and several other people have been blurred out.

Hail Byrd?
Robert Byrd?
Makes perfect sense to me.
OMG!!! They see nazis everywhere these days. Especially in classrooms. “Who knows the answer, raise your hands!”
Who is this “Byrd”, CNN?
CNN = Fake News
Nowhere in the article did they mention that this “Byrd” person was Robert Byrd, who just happened to have been a democrat senator and a former member of the Ku Klux Klan
Nope, that wasn’t important
Hail Byrd must mean something entirely different
The Byrd is the word.
Harry Truman was also a member of the Klan as well as the Pendergast Gang.
Byrd was the class instructor.
David Hogg just asked you a question:
“Miss Me Yet?”
Could this have been a joke photo?
I like the one of the black West Point cadets(female) giving the black power sign.
It looks like a Hail Caesar salute. Who know there were nazis 2,000 years before there were nazis?
The ROMAN SALUTE isn’t new or unique. I would suppose that soldiers saluted their generals much like that throughout all of the history of wars.
“This behavior warrants an immediate investigation and anyone who participated in any hateful and disgusting action should not be able to work for or be paid by the federal or state government and should be removed from their position immediately,””
That will do it for these guys.
The governor and a U.S. senator wants them out.
“Division of Corrections Commissioner Betsy Jividen has also directed that all copies of the photo be destroyed or otherwise taken out of circulation “to keep its harm from spreading,” “
Ms. Jividen doesn’t understand how the internet works.
This is why American football will never go down well in Germany. Every time the ref signals first down, every fan will rise up and return the salute with a hearty “Sieg heil!”
Yes it does. What party was Robert Byrd part of and what other group was he a grand dragon?
