lego 44,165 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 A Catholic elementary school has removed a quote attributed to Hitler that was part of a Grade 8 graduation picture display — after it hung in the gym for nearly two days. Staff at Holy Rosary Catholic School were made aware of the quote — “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. (Adolf Hitler)” — after basketball players, who use the gym for evening games, complained. “We are deeply sorry that this has happened,” said Toronto Catholic District School Board spokesperson Shazia Vlahos on Friday. She said staff at the school, located near Bathurst St. and St. Clair Ave. W., spoke with the student who is “deeply apologetic,” adding, “We believe the student made an honest mistake.” The boy had searched online for an inspirational quote and didn’t know who Hitler was, the board spokesperson said. ... And, he had no idea he was looking at a meme of a quote misattributed to Hitler. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2019/06/21/catholic-board-deeply-sorry-after-quote-attributed-to-hitler-used-in-grade-8-graduation-display.html FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I don't know what's worse, a student who doesn't know who Adolf Hitler is or taking two days to realise the mistake It upsets me a lot that they aren't teaching kids World History or how to properly use the internet to search for information.

Guest Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Seems like an honest mistake & they acknowledged, apologized & fixed the issue, I’m more upset over the catholic school not teaching who Hitler is & most likely not teaching history with correct information.
