Outrage as Pennsylvania high school marching band commemorates 1917 Russian Revolution at half time
"A Pennsylvania High School marching band has caused outrage commemorating the Russian Revolution in a halftime performance - brandishing red flags, uniforms, hammers and sickles.
Parents and Historians of students at New Oxford High School have lambasted the choice of entertainment which remembers an event that gave way to Communism and the deaths of millions.

Rebecca Harbaugh, the superintendent for the Conewago Valley School District, insisted that the performance had not been an endorsement of the regime. She added that it was the music that was being celebrated and was sorry it was not viewed as a history lesson."
