Orange County School Pulls Nazi Elements From 'The Sound Of Music' Production

FULLERTON, CA — A 6th-grade production of "The Sound of Music" at a Fullerton elementary school had its script altered to remove Nazi elements in response to backlash from parents, KTLA reported.

The musical, which is being produced at Rolling Hills Elementary School, was criticized after parents found out that the production would include swastikas and other Nazi props, and involve children giving a "Hail Hitler" salute, the report said.

“These social media posts of our children could leave them vulnerable to co-opting of these photographs by nefarious individuals or groups meant to mock or exploit our children for their own purposes,” Fullerton School District Superintendent Bob Pletka said in a statement.
