(Sacramento, CA) — A high school in Sacramento is facing backlash for a quote published in its newspaper. The quote, recently printed in the C.K. McClatchy High School newspaper ‘The Prospector,’ says “Hitler’s got some good ideas.” The anonymous student quote appeared in a back page column. It was one of nine featured responses to the question “Have you ever heard something while walking in the school hallways and thought ‘That is the strangest and weirdest thing I have ever heard in my life?”‘
The Prospector has issued a statement, saying the quote does not reflect its ideas or beliefs, but was instead meant to spark a conversation about how students choose to use their words.
