The high school student who attended school dressed as Hitler on Tuesday<\/a> returned to class, jackboots in tow. I think “chutzpah” is the proper term here<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Flouting a possible suspension and the scorn of Jewish groups, a Brooklyn high-school student ejected from class for dressing as Adolf Hitler on Halloween donned the controversial getup again yesterday on campus.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the city Education Department said that Leon M. Goldstein HS will pursue disciplinary charges against 16-year-old Walter Petryk for insubordination, which could result in a 10-day suspension.<\/p>\n

. . .<\/p>\n

The junior honors student dressed again as the fascist butcher outside the Sheepshead Bay school yesterday for a gaggle of reporters, and dismissed the prospect of suspension — as well as the ridicule of onlookers.<\/p>\n

“I’m not worried about it that much,” said Petryk, whose mother delivered the costume to him yesterday and stood by his side.<\/p>\n

“I’m not a Nazi. It’s a Halloween costume,” he declared. “People have taken it too seriously . . . I’m not going to go around and kill Jews or anything.”<\/p>\n

At one point, the gathering was interrupted by area resident Michael Loweth, 50, who shouted at Petryk, “You’re pathetic!”<\/p>\n

“This is ridiculous, kid. Grow up!” he yelled. “Millions of people died for a schmuck like you.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And I guess “schmuck” is an equally appropriate term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
