Government class instruction comparing Obama to Hitler draws public ire in Baldwin County (Alabama)

[weatMod]

a certain ethnic minority group hates obama for not bombing iran,the same ethnic minority that 98% of the authors of the books on that reading list belong to as well as the teacher , wow what a surprise

 

[smf]

I don't care for the FED, it's not a government institution. What is essentially a corporation should not be regulating currency.

It literally is a government institution. It's largely autonomous, but then you really don't want elected politicians abusing monetary policy for personal short term gain.

The UK equivalent would be the bank of england & it only escaped from politicians meddling in 1998. If you compare how it was before to how it is now, I'll keep how it is now.

 

[DRAGONBALLVINTAGE]

yes. In mobile at the moment, working on my Ph.D., though lived in daphne/spanish fort area for a while. I move around a lot. I don't particularly care if anyone knows where I live.

Now I know I'm not the only tempter living in Alabama

Nah instead it's mostly a board of private banking CEOs deciding things on a whim...much better. /s

Went ahead and fixed that for you.

Obama is the same as hittler spread the word i love it!!

 

[Hozu]

I came across what appears to be the full list. If @Xzi wants to put it in the OP, feel free.

Yeah I remember when Hitler retired from being US president after a full two terms. Wait...

Trump's the only one left to blame your problems on if you're trying to avoid taking responsibility for them now. "Sat on my balls today. THANKS TRUMP!"

 

[chrisrlink]

sickening effectivly brainwashing today's youth if i read that list alone I'd drop out btw is the federal government doing anything about it probably not with Donald hitler trump in office

There's so much misconception about Hitler...

If you truly want to look at an evil man, look at Himmler or Stalin.
I'd go for Stalin if you truly want someone fucked up.

Let's not downplay the suffering he put over 6 million innocent Jews through (not to mention gays and political rivals)

What about the millions of Ukrainians, starved to death by Stalin?
The brutal massacre in the Katyn forest ordered by Stalin on dozens of Polish officers.
The brutal gulags where everyone and their dog got locked up by Stalin.
The millions of innocent civilians in the USSR that starved to death by him.

Himmler introduced the Einsatzgruppen in the SS which resulted in mass executions.
He found that this was to traumatizing for the officers commencing the shootings so he thought of the death camps.

Please, learn your history.

You say that like I was trying to imply that Stalin or Himmler weren't awful as well

Compared to Stalin, Hitler is a pussy.

But the first thing people tie Hitler to is the mass murder of ~6 million Jews.
People always forget that Himmler was more involved with the genocide on the Jews then Hitler was.

But yes, if you worded your post differently, it wouldn't seem that way.

Oh, idk if you already knew but the Volkswagen beetle? it's Hitlers people car.
Autobahn? Hitlers creation.
Anti smoking campaigns? Hitler his work.
Animal rights? mostly Hitler.

By no means am I denying the holocaust nor am I trying to redeem the man.
I'm simply pointing out historical facts that get greatly overlooked.

Edit: Hitler never even visited a death camp.
Himmler however visited numerous camps and criticized the security and build of many on the spot.

 

[brickmii82]

This level of indoctrination is ..... condederate-esque.

 

[CallmeBerto]

We went from BS levels of right wing propaganda to Hitler and Stalin.

Bruh we can do this shit about the USSR, it doesn't redeem the fucking terrible things done under Stalinism.

-Went from an almost exclusively agrarian nation to having a space program in 40 years
-Nearly eliminated illiteracy
-Equal pay, voting rights, and access to education for women
-Doubling of life expectancy from Tsarist times
-Elimination of homelessness

That's bullshit that Hitler didn't know what was going on in those camps. How could he not know people were being murdered but the Allies did?.

He also said this...

Once I really am in power, my first and foremost task will be the annihilation of the Jews. As soon as I have the power to do so, I will have gallows built in rows—at the Marienplatz in Munich, for example—as many as traffic allows. Then the Jews will be hanged indiscriminately, and they will remain hanging until they stink; they will hang there as long as the principles of hygiene permit. As soon as they have been untied, the next batch will be strung up, and so on down the line, until the last Jew in Munich has been exterminated. Other cities will follow suit, precisely in this fashion, until all Germany has been completely cleansed of Jews.

and this...

We are going to destroy the Jews. They are not going to get away with what they did on 9 November 1918. The day of reckoning has come.

source

And we say that the war will not end as the Jews imagine it will, namely with the uprooting of the Aryans, but the result of this war will be the complete annihilation of the Jews.

source

If at the beginning of the war and during the war twelve or fifteen thousand of these Hebrew corrupters of the people had been held under poison gas, as happened to hundreds of thousands of our very best German workers in the field, the sacrifice of millions at the front would not have been in vain.

wow it's almost as if Adolf Hitler wanted to kill all the jews or something??? but 6 million of them dying in the camps he put them in was definitely just a coincidence and not really his fault! poor guy is awfully misunderstood ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nice attempt at putting words in me mouth ;')

If you read closely, I pointed out the terrible things that Stalin did and I never said that Hitler didn't know what was going in.
Idk what you make of "Hitler never visited a camp" but I never said anything about him not knowing what went on.
You must be pretty blind I guess.

Also: do note that literature isn't 100% accurate.
They're heavily revised before being put through the presses.
Things get cut and edited a lot before it's approved for printing.

Your inclusion of "Hitler never even visited a death camp" implies that he didn't really know what was going on or at least isn't really to blame for the holocaust. The subsequent statement about Himmler reinforces that.

But you're right, you didn't explicitly state that. I am very tired and misread what you wrote. My apologies.

what parts of the literature that I cited were edited?

 

[Subtle Demise]

Anti smoking campaigns? Hitler his work.
Animal rights? mostly Hitler.

So limiting personal liberties and de-valuing human life? Sounds about right.

Anyway, if you were going to compare a president to Hitler, it would be George W. Bush. The way he snatched up a bunch of emergency powers in the wake of disaster is very reminiscent of both Julius Caesar and Hitler. Thankfully, he wasn't bright enough to follow through with it.
