A Pennsylvania high school marching band is raising eyebrows with a halftime performance that commemorates the Russian revolution, complete with red flags, olive military-style uniforms, and giant hammers and sickles. [...]
Rebecca Harbaugh, the superintendent for the Conewago Valley School District, told Fox News that the band’s performance was “not an endorsement of communism at all.”
“It’s a representation of the time period in history called St. Petersburg 1917,” she said. “I am truly sorry that somebody took the performance in that manner. I am.”
Seguramente si le preguntas a la superintendente si planean hacer lo propio con banderas nazis para representar el período histórico "Berlín 1933", se escandalizaría. Pero acá no se le pasó por la cabeza que pudiera haber algún problema... la hoz y el martillo son "cool".
Se nota que es una "representación" porque el soldado sostiene en sus manos un fusil de asalto AK 47 que no existía en aquella época.
