There is a significant difference between a teacher showing the flags of the powers that fought in WWII in a classroom and a halftime display involving a Nazi flag on the football field - particularly on a Jewish holiday.

It's not like they were just showing a Nazi flag. Context.

"Grissom said it was part of a show entitled “Visions of World War Two,” in which the flags and music were intended to represent the warring nations."

I see a plural there ... flags.

"The show included the flags of other nations fighting in World War II, such as France, Britain, the United States and Japan. The flags were waved twice as a musical selection from each country was played."

The show also includes the flags and music of France, Britain, Japan and the United States. The flags were raised in intervals that corresponded with the music of the nations. An announcement over loudspeakers before the performance explained the school was trying to do a "historical, accurate depiction of the event."

"Now, Grisson said the show will only include the American flag. "
