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. “It all began with a book ban,” 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!

The Campus Reform YouTube Channel has some interesting videos using politician's quotes. For instance this one.
There are similarities between Hitler and Trump. Germany was a basket case following WW1. Berlin had lost all sense of morality; the global Jewish community had declared a business war on Germany; inflation was devastating; Germans now living in other countries were being persecuted, and even killed.
Hitler fixed all that. He instigated many massive infrastructure projects. The autobahns and Volkswagen still persist to this day. Their military rose again. Germany became a leader in engineering. They instigated the liquid-fueled rocket technology that was used after the war by the USA and Russia to explore space and pioneered the jet engine in parallel with the UK.
With the US, it seems as if they are holding themselves back with all kinds of unnecessary rules. trump started clearing all that out and he allowed businesses to do what they do best. Employment rose; disposable income increased; international virtue-signalling was curtailed; global projects requiring US cash were scrutinised.
I looked up quotes from Hitler a while back and I gotta be honest the dude was pretty on point with a lot of what he said.
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 🤔
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.

I appreciate your thorough response. I'll check out the links when I'm off work. Thank you!
"It all began with a book ban".
These are childishly uninformed mental midgets who have no business teaching children anything.
It began with Versailles. I am no Nazi sympathizer. I think the way the treated Russian prisoners of war, the mentally ill, gypsies jews etc was pretty nasty. However, Germany had a legitimate reason to be angry at and want revenge on the Western powers who off food and milk to the point that children starved (in the early 20s). And Occupied the Ruhr valley with colonial troops that wantonly raped and pillaged, etc, etc, etc.
As far as this school district goes, these people need to go. Parents need to take over the school board and fire every one of these useless political operators.
If I remember correctly, DJT had a copy of Mein Kampf next to his bed, think he appreciated Hitler's abilities, looked beyond the propaganda. same with Napoleon, just saw an old commercial; Trump compared himself to Napoleon & Alexander the Great🥸
