Spelling champion can't spell L-u-b-a-v-i-t-c-h-e-r
An eighth-grader from Iowa made it all the way to the seventh round of the National Spelling Bee, before tripping over a "t." Jonathan Hahn, 14, of Central Community School in Elkader, misspelled "Lubavitcher." The word that means "a member of a Hasidic sect" disqualified the student. Hahn's favorite subjects in school include math and science. This was his second trip to the national bee.
