A Pennsylvania high school is under fire after a quote from Adolf Hitler appeared in its 2010 student yearbook, The Express-Times reported Thursday.

Easton Area High School in Easton, Pa., reportedly unveiled its new student yearbook this month featuring a quote from the Nazi dictator that appeared prominently alongside the words of other famous leaders and authors.

Wow. That's moronic. Still, it is strange that this news is in my neck of the woods and this is the first I have heard of it.

Sounds a bit too twisted

Something tells me that one reason this could have happened is that the kids didn't know who Hitler actually was. And in that case, I sure do fear for the education system

wow.

I'm curious how that managed to get in the yearbook. I worked on our schools yearbook my senior year, everything we wrote was quadruple checked.

Somebody wasn't paying much attention.
Or didn't take their history course...I don't think Hitler is a good role model for success...unless your definition of success is being in a ditch on fire.

"And in the last analysis, success is what matters," -Adolf Hitler, the fool that attacked everybody just because he thought he could.

I don't believe it was a mistake ever.

The student or whoever wrote that identify with the quote which Hitler had spoken.

It's as simple as that.

It is disturbing because when a person much more a young student identifies with that sentence then the sake of achieving goal justifies any method which actually doesn't!

When taken as an intrinsic value that sentence would make people as corrupt as their desires take and make them.

The problem is if everybody adopts the same kind of stance (even to varying degree) then everything will become chaotic, crumble and every mankind civilization and society as we know now will come to end and we all be living like savages.

That quote is A MAJOR FAIL!

Even if Hitler had won WWII and ruled the entire world.

When men regress their civilization will too. That is a guarantee!

Just another wonderful example of the "clueless" generation America is churning out

The fact that the quote was correctly attributed to Adolf Hitler makes me question the faculty oversite. Was there any?

It seems to be a combination of some kid trying to be funny and the yearbook advisor not checking the content and layout before sending it to press. I used to teach high school for a brief time, and you have to really watch those kids when it comes to stuff like this. They tend to think that they are both very funny and much smarter than you.
