INDIANOLA, Iowa — The Superintendent of Indianola Schools is apologizing after parents say a quote tied to Nazis was included in the morning announcements. KCCI says on Monday, some Indianola parents shared an email with the station, which appears to be the day’s middle school morning announcements. At the bottom, it included the “Respect Quote of the Day,” which was “My honor is my loyalty.” The quote was attributed to Heinrich H. — Heinrich Himmler was a prominent Nazi leader.

Parents also shared an email from Indianola Superintendent Ted Ihns, who said a staff member “did not realize that the quote was from a highly inappropriate source.” Ihns said in the email, “I first want to apologize for the oversight. While it was completely unintentional, I understand that some of those who saw the quote and realized the source were offended. Again, we are very sorry for this mistake,” Ihns said in the email. “Moving forward, we will implement a new process for our Respect Quote of the Day to be sure that we are double-checking all sources and ensuring the quotes are appropriate for our students.”
