“I think a portrait of Adolf Hitler on the wall is inappropriate. This is one of the worst people in history,” said the parent of a middle schooler. “All these role models — and Adolf Hitler — it's wrong, it's just wrong.”
One North County parent is upset that a picture of Adolf Hitler was on a white board in his son’s 7grade class at Carmel Valley Middle School. The picture of Hitler was included on a poster board of images with the likes of Gandhi, JFK, MLK, Winston Churchill and other historical figures.
“I think a portrait of Adolf Hitler on the wall is inappropriate. This is one of the worst people in history,” said Dr. Roy David whose 12-year-old son goes to Carmel Valley Middle School. “All these role models — and Adolf Hitler — it's wrong, it's just wrong.” David said his son, who is Jewish and whose family members were victims of the Holocaust, told the teacher the picture hanging on the white board “trivializes the Holocaust.” According to David, the teacher responded by saying, “'Well, Hitler may have done some bad things, but he also had strong leadership qualities.’ To me it was just too much at that point.”
In a statement emailed to NBC 7, the San Dieguito Union High School District wrote in part,"A lesson in World History included a discussion of various historical figures, along with images of them on a whiteboard in the classroom. The images were directly related to the curriculum and displayed during a lesson. After a concern was raised regarding one of the images and the impact it had on a student, it was taken down.
