Teacher sorry for comparing special needs student to Hitler

(AP) — A Pennsylvania school teacher has apologized for writing emails saying that accommodating a special needs student was similar to appeasing Adolf Hitler.

The (Wilkes-Barre) Citizens' Voice (http://bit.ly/1WCpT7Z ) says Wyoming Area School District teacher Amy Kosko issued the apology Monday.

The elementary school teacher is apologizing for emails sent in 2014 when school officials were following up on an educational plan for the girl, who has a learning disability.
