'ISIS' Bumper Sticker Taken Down From Wellesley Middle School Classroom

WELLESLEY (CBS) – A bumper sticker with the word "ISIS" on it has been removed from a classroom at the Wellesley Middle School.

"I used to have a cat named Isis, which is why the bumper sticker has been on the cabinet in my room for years," Kelly told WBZ-TV in an email Friday.

"I have answered questions from students about it over the last year or so, and it hasn't been a problem as far as I was aware," he said.

Kelly took it down Friday and destroyed it.
