Another Nazi-Lover Tries to Indoctrinate U.S. School Kids.

How the F*ck do you "accidentially" quote Heinrich Himmler?!

Iowa school district is forced to apologize after using a speech by Nazi Holocaust architect Heinrich Himmler as its 'quote of the day' for students

Indianola Community School District apologized after quoting Heinrich Himmler
The school shared the message 'my honor is my loyalty' with children on Monday
The incident occurred amid a spike in anti-Semitic incidents since October 7

FU*ck the apology. Fire the staffer's fascist-loving ass!

The phrase was attributed to Heinrich H. in the school's 'respect quote of the day,' which was shared over Indianola Middle School's public address system.

Don't you think "Heinrich H." was a clue?

Even the so-called apology by Indianola Superintendent Ted Ihns is offensive.

I first want to apologize for the oversight. While it was completely unintentional, I understand that some of those who saw the quote and realized the source were offended.

"Some of those who saw the quote.. were offended"? Only "some"? What's that? Code for "Jewish"?

ALL Americans should be offended that a school district is going around quoting Heinrich Himmler for a quote of the day.

The school district should spend a day teaching students about this monster.

"My honor is my loyalty" is a pretty weird "Respect Quote of the Day" anyway, even if it wasn't a quote from a prominent...well known, monstrous Nazi. Loyalty to whom or what, I wonder.

@Piper I agree. It’s a weird quote. I’m guessing they didn’t know the source tho. And the apology didn’t say it offended some. It said some recognized the source and were offended. A big difference. Not smart either way!

@Handfull1

Noting it was said by "Heinrich H." is a pretty big clue.

If someone working IN A SCHOOL DISTRICT didn't know or at least suspect it (and therefore double-check), then they should still be fired - for stupidity!

@Piper Like all fascist slogans, it's vague and basically meaningless. It evokes emotions instead of delivering any meaning.

@Piper Totally!

@beckyromero I had those same thoughts, both when I first saw and read your post, and after reading a few different reports about it. The explanation and 'apology' come off as pretty lame.
