Photo of more than 60 boys in suits giving Nazi salute posted on social media

Hitler himelf gave a variety of salutes so identifying this one as Nazi may be risky.  They could be just waving someone off

A school district in Wisconsin is investigating a photo of a group of high-school boys giving what appears to be a Nazi salute.

Baraboo’s superintendent, Lori Mueller, said she became aware of the photo on Monday, after it was posted on social media.

Baraboo is a town of about 12,000 residents, about 115 miles north-west of Milwaukee. The photo of more than 60 male students dressed in suits, some wearing boutonnieres, shows many with their right arm extended upward while posed on the steps of the Sauk county courthouse.

Mueller did not say what occasion might have brought the students together, but said the photo appear to have been taken in the spring and was not taken at a school-sponsored event.

“The school district is investigating this situation and is working with parents, staff and local authorities,” Mueller wrote in a letter to parents and guardians. “If the gesture is what it appears to be, the district will pursue any and all available and appropriate actions, including legal, to address the issue.

The photo spread on Twitter with the hashtag #barabooproud, which is often used by the district to promote its activities and athletic programs.
