Governor Jim Justice (R-WV) has approved a recommendation that over 30 members of the correctional officer trainee group “Basic Training Class 18” be fired after a photo of the cadets engaging in a Nazi salute was distributed inside graduation materials.
“As I said from the beginning, I condemn the photo of Basic Training Class 18 in the strongest possible terms,” says Justice, according to a press release. “I also said that this act needed to result in real consequences — terminations and dismissals. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated on my watch in any agency of State government.”
