“It was unnecessarily provocative and insensitive,' the school district's superintendent said.
A New Jersey school district has apologized after a speaker gave a presentation on positive leadership skills that included as examples George Washington, baseball legend Derek Jeter and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
At one point during the presentation, the speaker contrasted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with Hitler, putting their photos on the screen at the same. The speaker called Hitler a “good leader” with “bad moral character and intentions,” according to a letter from Madison High School officials obtained by Patch.com.
Adolf Hitler, chancellor of Germany, is welcomed by supporters in Nuremberg. At a high school assembly in New Jersey, a speaker called Hitler a"good leader" with"bad moral character and intentions," prompting an apology from the school.
