A prankster at East Brook Middle School in Paramus, New Jersey, just pulled off what might be the most insane yearbook prank you'll ever see.
Well, look who's burning books now! Yes, a child was supposed to send in a baby photo and sent in a photo of baby Adolf Hitler instead. And somehow, no one on the yearbook committee or in the middle school offices noticed the baby photo was over 100 years old.
Here's more from the Post:
'Earlier today, after students had already received their yearbooks, we learned that the baby pictures section of the yearbook contained an image that was later identified as an infant photograph of Adolf Hitler,' Ryan Aupperlee, principal of East Brook Middle School in Paramus, wrote in a June 25 letter to families obtained by NJ.com.
Yes, one of the baby photos was LITERALLY HITLER!
'We immediately collected the yearbooks so the image would not remain in circulation,' the letter assures the school community, noting they were assisting local law enforcement with an investigation.
'I want to be direct with you: the presence of this image is unacceptable. Even if the image was not immediately recognizable to those paging through the book, its inclusion in an official school publication is a severe breach of our values,' Aupperlee wrote.
Have we considered that it's very possible that Graham Platner may have simply placed an ad in the yearbook?
The kid who did this, while in trouble, is going to be considered a legend for pulling this off and getting the yearbook to print before anyone found out.
Liberals were obviously shaken by this news, but can you imagine how much worse it would've been if someone had submitted a photo of baby Trump?!?
I'll leave this here because it's hilarious.

While I am not applauding their selection of baby Hitler…you have to laugh at the sense of humor.
The reason I refused to teach Middle School Sunday School.
Makes you wonder, who recognized it? I would not have............
Principal Ryan Aupperlee can virtue signal all he wants but he would also have rejected a sonogram or photo of a fetus.
Police in small town: If it wasn’t for 14-year-old boys, we wouldn’t have much to do around here.
I’ll just bet the principal’s self esteem went up a notch when expressing his “indignation.”
The son of a friend of mine put “Fred Garvin” in the teachers’
section a few years ago.
(SNL. “Fred Garvin, male prostitute”)
how did they know?
I would have recognized it as “old”. I’ve seen the picture before so it might have eventually settled in. I am sure it “popped” on an image search.
Yes, especially when he did so in the form of a strongly worded letter.
I find this absolutely awesome, especially in the selection of Hitler. Too bad he didn't choose President Trump; you'd really see unhinged histrionics.LoL
Hitler’s baby pic was awesome...... Too bad it wasnt Trump’s; you’d really see unhinged histrionics.
And seeing it was baby pics, why not a sonogram of a pre-born baby?
If they had also used the word “venal” it would have sounded exactly like the yearbook staff at my high skrool.
Totally agree. That kid should get the Most Likely to Succeed award.
I would have recognized it. I've seen this photo before. I think at this point in his life he was still innocent of anything.
I had never seen that pic and even if I did I wouldn’t have noticed in a pile of pics from all the students.
And if it had been colorized and cropped it would have been unnoticed at all............
Literally Hitler? Must have been a baby picture of Trump then. I’m so confused.
Not as confused as the simpletons that fell for it, but still confused
