0:31Now PlayingThe 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.
Jones College Prep Principal Joseph Powers appeared next to the student in the offending costume in a photo posted to Twitter from the school Halloween competition on Oct. 31.
In alarming footage also shared on Twitter, the student is seen goose-stepping across a stage and performing a Nazi salute as audience members booed him.
Distressed students pointed out the student to Powers, but he informed them that the boy was dressed as a Communist-era East German soldier, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
“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 in a memo to school staff, according to the paper.
“I spoke with him this afternoon and explained the same thing to him and the inferences others may have drawn,” he added.
