| What a circus! Baraboo WI High School Students Appear to Perform Nazi Salute |
| 2018-11-14 |
Scores of high school students appear to be giving the Nazi salute in a photo that was reportedly taken before attending their Junior Prom dance last spring. The Twitter account @GoBaraboo posted the image, accompanied with the words: "We even got the black kid to throw it up #barabooproud." The tweet, which has since been deleted, was captured via screenshot and re-shared on Twitter, causing the image to go viral. |

| #9 Perhaps just the middle finger would be more appropriate. |

| #8 Lesson learned, always do a pathetic Queen of England wave. If doing a high five add the Aloha or Devil Horn hand gestures. Either way you are semi-protected from idiots claiming you were making a Nazi salute (of course cultural appropriation claims for the Aloha are likely). |

| #7 I know it sounds primitive, but 'voting' should be limited to property owners, soldiers, and tax payers....people with some skin in the game. |

| #6 High school kids do a lot of dumb things. It could be they are just waving. They could be put in suspended animation for their teen years--it would probably be less stressful for the parents. Who thought having 16-17 year-olds voting was a good idea. Oh yeah, it was most likely the Dems trying to expand their base. |

| #4 The photographer said they were waving and giving high fives, at his request. While the optics on this ain't good, people really need to calm the fuck down about things. |

| #3 Baraboo was the northern home of the Ringling Brothers circus, splitting residence with Florida. |

| #2 The results of: 1. Lousy education; and 2. Trivializing everyone you don't like as a "Nazi." Like the "Circus" thing, tho. |

| #1 Last of the Heiligenbeil Pocket? The young lad (front row, 4th from extreme right, blue suit with growth trousers) appears slightly reluctant. |
