Incredible

When a substitute teacher at J. Henry Higgins Middle School in Peabody, Mass., told students that “Hitler is cool,” many of the seventh-grade students were offended and reported the unidentified teacher to the principal. Principal Jane Wilson and Superintendent Louis Perullo asked him for an explanation. The teacher claimed that what he meant was that Hitler is dead, therefore his body was cold. Neither administrator found the excuse “credible,” and the teacher has been banned from ever teaching in the city’s schools again.
