Anti-mask protesters post sign outside of Connecticut middle school comparing administrators to Hitler

Anti-mask protesters posted a sign outside of a Portland middle school Sunday depicting the local superintendent of schools and board of education chair with Adolf Hitler-like mustaches above cartoon images of children wearing masks.
“I am appalled and sickened at this image appearing in Portland in front of our beloved Brownstone Intermediate School,” said First Selectwoman Susan Bransfield in a statement with local and state officials Monday morning. “Our Superintendent Charles Britton and our Chairwoman of the Board of Education, Sharon Peters, do not deserve this hateful image. It is abhorrent and I strongly condemn it, along with State Representative Christie Carpino and State Senator Norm Needleman.”
