The principal of a Chicago high school has been suspended over his handling of a student who wore a German soldier’s uniform and gave a Nazi salute onstage during a Halloween costume contest.
Principal Joseph Powers initially said that the boy was dressed as a Communist-era East German soldier."I tried to explain the context and time period of the uniform to the students who spoke with me, but apparently the student who wore the uniform may have told people it was from the 1940s," Powers wrote to parents.The student was met with boos when he appeared in a German soldier's uniform for a Halloween costume contest at Jones College Prep in Chicago.
“This incident caused harm to many students and staff, and it is completely inconsistent with our values as a school district,” he said. “They should have set him aside and had a conversation with him about why it was inappropriate,” Rodas added.
