A Connecticut teen has been charged with computer crimes after police say he hacked into his school's database and referenced a quote from Adolf Hitler in a high school yearbook.
Hollister Tryon, 18, was a student at Glastonbury High School, where the quote appeared in May beneath the photo of an unsuspecting classmate, police said.
It read, 'It is a quite special secret pleasure how the people around us fail to realize what is really happening to them.'
The quote was attributed in the yearbook to George Floyd, the Black man killed by Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin last May.
The quotes were discovered in May after the school began distributing the yearbooks.
The school later recalled the yearbooks to remove the offending quotes.
Police said Tyron was also responsible for another unauthorized yearbook entry, which referenced one of the Boston Marathon bombers and drug use.
In an email to the school community, Glastonbury principle, Dr. Nancy E. Bean said the school is 'saddened' and 'distressed' by the incident and condemns all acts of violence.
'Acts of bias, bullying, and cruelty are not acceptable at out school,' Bean wrote. 'We are committed to to ensuring all Glastonbury High School students feel safe and supported.'
He is accused of unlawfully accessing a computer database students used to submit their yearbook quotes, changing the two students' quotes prior to publication of the yearbook in October 2020.
His bond was set at $5,000.

I’m not really quite sure I understand the meaning and the message here. What was his purpose? Was he trying to be clever?
It’s principal, not principle, you nimrods.
And why is black capitalized?
The school later recalled the yearbooks to remove the offending quotes.
He alone thought it was clever. Too clever by half.
Maybe that was the kids clumsy way of saying people are lavishing so much praise and unconditional acceptance of anything George Floyd did or said it has become ridiculous.
So maybe this kid thought he would get a kick out of seeing people adoring George Floyd with a phrase straight from one of the most hated men in modern western history (Hitler).
Technically, he was smart enough to hack into the schools database, but he was immature enough to not care about the money it would cost the school to reprint and redistribute those yearbooks.
Most likely, few if any realized Floyd never said that.
In fact, Floyd never even spoke that way at all.
Ebonics was his mother tongue.
Is that actually a Hitler quote? Anyone here know? I’ve never heard it before.
I looked it up and it’s from hitler.
Yeah. “Give me your money” And “pass the pipe or joint” was all he said. Of course he did slap a few upside the head with his pistol to get their attention. But after all, hi is their god and hero.
His face his asymetrical, meaning one side is much different than the other. Some phrenologists used to say that was a clue of inate brain disorder.
At this point in his life, he is misusing his talents. 18 years old students should be focused on looking good, getting ready for their graduation, ready for an internship. This is the action of someone stuck emotionally at age 12. Spinning his wheels.
It sounds like something the devil would say, only you can clearly imagine Democrats saying the same thing. They all march to his drumbeat anyway.
Sounds very much like something he would have said, during the little get-togethers at the Reichskanzelei, while things were still on the up-swing for him.
Regards,
This has caused quite a furor.
I doubt it. It is probably some bullshit they made up. They are throwing the book and kitchen sink at him for taking the name of their god and hero in vain.

AP changes writing style to capitalize ″b″ in Black
By The Associated Press
June 19, 2020
The Associated Press changed its influential style guide Friday, June 19, 2020, to capitalize the “b” in the term Black when referring to people, weighing in on a hotly debated issue.
The Associated Press changed its writing style guide Friday to capitalize the “b” in the term Black when referring to people in a racial, ethnic or cultural context, weighing in on a hotly debated issue.
The change conveys “an essential and shared sense of history, identity and community among people who identify as Black, including those in the African diaspora and within Africa,” John Daniszewski, AP’s vice president of standards, said in a blog post Friday. “The lowercase black is a color, not a person.”
St. Floyd had many wise statements. They are going to give him a new chapter in the Bible.
Thanks.
I knew that. It still irritates me. Apparently the author has a style book, but not a dictionary.
As Abraham Lincoln said “you can’t believe everything you see on the internet “.
