Is Indiana GOP politician (Scott Baldwin) correct? Should teachers be required to be impartial when teaching about things like Nazis?

Should teachers be allowed to say that Nazis are heinous monsters? What say you?

And let's guess who the man in the high tower would be for the right?

So if I'm getting this correctly a teacher saying the nazis and slavery was a bad thing, is a bad thing to say?

I would rather a teacher present the facts and then ask the students what THEY think...instead of telling the students what TO think.

"Just the facts, Ma'am."

I say yes. That is the fact of the matter.

From the article:

Baldwin, who was elected in 2020, has faced scrutiny in the past, the Star reported, after his name was included on a list of purported members of Oath Keepers — a far-right, self-styled militia group accused of participating in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The state senator denied involvement, telling the newspaper he made a $30 donation to the group during an unsuccessful 2010 bid for county sheriff but had no interaction with the Oath Keepers since.

He's worried about teachers indoctrinated children with "liberal" political ideology, not his own political ideology, and that's why he's taking this stance.

What say you?

I say that teachers give the facts (including film showing the Nazis beating up Jewish people on the street and then film of concentration camp inmates being freed by the Allies).

Then let the students themselves decide what kind of pejorative words they want to use in order to describe the Nazis.

He did walk it back a bit, but it's like letting children make up their own mind on murder. Just leave those pliable minds to weigh the pros and cons on their own.

He didnt single out Nazis as your dishonest thread title suggests but included Marxism as well. And has since clarified his statement and acknowledged his poor choice of words.

Nazis, Nazism, and the like
are objectively evil, factually evil.

So, yeah.
Go ahead and tell kids the facts about Nazis, Nazism, and the like.

nazis are scum. I remember when that was the default position.

and then a bunch of neo-Nazis (old confederates) came out of the woodwork.

I guess you can excuse anyone for saying anything if you claim what they say is a, "poor choice of words" I suppose it was another poor choice when he supported the Oath Keepers too. It's was the same when Trump claimed over and over that Obama was a Muslim, just a poor choice of words...

That's never going to happen given how westernized and liberalized the education curriculum is in the United States.

Do you think any high school has the Tuskegee Syphilis Study in its curriculum?

Most High Schools don't even cover the Gulf of Tonkin incident, if they do, they explain it in a very biased way.

There aren't always good people on both sides. I hope one day that conservative America remembers that.

If you want teachers to be impartial to nazis, you are partial to nazis.

So they should teach the truth about slavery and the Holocaust? Would that not damage their poor little babies minds if they learned about both?

Well they can trach tast the Nazi's caused a World War where millions of soldiers were killed. THey also killed millions of Jews, catholics and disabled personsin concentration camps, as well as thousands of prisoners of war, especially from Russia. Other than that, they were really nice people.

If teachers present history as it actually happened, there’s no need to say that Nazis were “heinous monsters”. The facts speak for themselves.

Still, Baldwin is an idiot for suggesting there is any impartial way of teaching the history of Hitler’s Nazi Party.

Sure.

Perhaps.

What makes you sure that teachers are not doing the former instead of the latter. Have you ever audited (sat in to evaluate) a high school history class in your school district? Just the facts my friend!

What is just the facts when it comes to Nazis?

What do you think it should be taught that "globalists" made Germany lose WW1?

Do you think they should put ((())) around the word globalist in text books?
