Davis Co. principal and teacher on leave after boy dresses as Hitler in school parade

A principal and a teacher at a Davis County school are on leave after a photo of a boy dressed as Adolf Hitler surfaced on social media Friday.

A photo obtained by FOX 13 shows the boy participating in a Halloween parade at Creekside Elementary School in Kaysville.

In the photo, the boy can be seen wearing a dark shirt and tie, light slacks and a red swastika armband. He also appears to be wearing a black mustache.

The district is taking the matter very seriously and is investigating every aspect of the situation. The principal and teacher have been placed on paid administrative leave,” a statement from the Davis School District said.
