The Italian Education Minister announced today that a professor from a state-funded university will be suspended from office after posting a post on the social network Twitter praising Nazi pacifier Adolf Hitler.

Minister Lorenzo Fiormonti announced disciplinary action against Professor Emmanuel Castrozzi after he wrote on Twitter that: "Hitler, even if he was not a saint, at that time defended all European civilization."

The rector of the government university in Siena, where Castrozzi is a lecturer, reacted harshly to the remarks, saying: "This is an attempt to make a rebirth of the Nazi, which is a shameful thing."

Castrozzi's post came after the academy posted a photo of the Nazi tyrant alongside his "Blondie" dog, under the caption: "They say I was a monster by not explaining to you that I was fighting the same monsters that control you today."

Castrozzi apparently meant his words to the Jews and the left. The lecturer's extreme right-wing views have complicated him in the past in several incidents. The post Castrozzi posted was removed from the internet.
