A quote from Adolf Hitler that a student snuck into Glastonbury High School’s yearbook under the picture of an unsuspecting classmate was one of three offensive entries found in the yearbook, school leaders said Wednesday.
“Our school community is greatly distressed and disturbed by the anti-Semitic, racist and biased yearbook incident,” School Superintendent Alan Bookman and Principal Nancy Bean wrote to the school community.
The quote by the Nazi dictator was attributed to George Floyd, the Minnesota man whose death under a police officer’s knee last year sparked nationwide outrage and calls for reform.
Another entry slipped in by the same student referenced the “Boston bomber” and a third entry found after scrutinizing the book glorified war, Bookman and Bean wrote.
