Oregon Middle School Lesson Plan Asks Students to Compare Trump to Hitler
...The latest controversy erupted after an education watchdog posted to X a TTSD lesson plan comparing former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. ...
The lesson plan asked middle school students to pick quotes from both Hitler and Trump and match them to the correct person. ...
The lesson plan also compared Nazi book burnings to the current removal of overtly sexualized, age-inappropriate material from American schools and libraries. βIt all began with a book ban,β said the lesson, darkly.
Textbook (pardon the pun) projection!
Shows the importance of getting involved in school board politics and keeping tabs on what is being taught in schools. Every single institution of civil society is corrupt to the core, as the Liberal/Progressives have been eating into them fore decades now. It will take a lot of concerted effort to weed out the rot.
Even if you don't have children, get involved. Someone else's children will be pushing your wheelchair in the old peoples' home in a few years!

I used to see this as an insult to Trump, after a while I began to look at it as potentially an absolution of Hitler π€
If Trump is "literally Hitler" and is also the best president we've had in my life time, well..... what does that say about Hitler?
To me, it says Hitler is too far in the past to remember what the National Socialists were all about.
Just like the American Civil War (or "War Between the States" if you prefer) has been spun quite differently in the recent past from what it was in its own time, Hitler and the National Socialist Movement seem to be being spun in a different direction nowadays.
Hitler was not a good guy, by a long shot, and that is before you even factor Jews into the equation. Read contemporary-to-the-times critiques and really analyze what their arguments were.
They didn't merely dislike the Jews, they exalted Germans as the "supermen" of the whole world. They hated Slavs, Gypsies, and pretty much everyone else, as well as Jews.
They had an active euthanasia program. They sought to manipulate the human genome through "selective breeding", like animals, and forcibly sterilized "inferiors". They killed disabled children and anyone who was physically or mentally impaired in any way (deaf, blind, lame).
They were not Christian, but rather sought to revive ancient German pantheism. They attached the name of God as a meaningless label to any creation, more or less arbitrary, of human speculation. As part of that drive for a State religion, they urged people to leave the Church as a signal and meritorious act of loyalty to the modern State.
They created Hitler Youth to indoctrinate the young in this State-worship and prevented Churches from running faith based schools, upending the rights and duties of parents as educators, and creating a voluntary and systematic antagonism between national education and religious duty.
