More States Require Schools To Teach The Holocaust

[Indeependent]

Are you trying to sound stupid?

I'm not trying. How is 'obliterate' not obliteration? Please share your superior intellect.

If only Trump would make the same declaration regarding Drug Lords.

If only. At least there are no baby Drug Lords.

I thought anyone under 18 years old was a baby.

Are you trying to sound stupid?

I’m quoting you from yesterday.

Good. They should emphasize also the rise of Nazi Germany and how the Holocaust came to be, so that people will be able recognize the parallels in the behavior and goals of our own so-called Democratic Party. They should also cover the truly astonishing death counts of Stalin and Mao under Communism.

Ignorance about the Holocaust is growing, particularly among young people. A survey last year showed that two-thirds of U.S. millennials were not familiar with Auschwitz, the largest Nazi death camp complex

Kids need to be taught how the National Socialist German Workers Party emulated the Democratic party in America.

I thought Obama defined it at 26.

According to Liberals, under 18 “kids” at the border are “children”.

Democrats ignore the fact that MS-13 prefers to use minors as hitmen.

You mean you are misquoting me. Can you prove otherwise?

Forgive me...I’m paraphrasing you.
Are you retracting your opinion that anyone under 18 cannot make their own decisions?

If you're looking for parallels you need to look no further than our current president:

• Populist - Too many promises to list
  
• Nationalist - MAGA
• Supported violence against enemies - Reporters and protesters
  
• Stoked fear of a 5th column - Muslim immigrants
  
• Stoked fear of external threat - Illegal immigration

Caveat: I don't think Trump is Hitler, only that his rise to power echos the path that Hitler used

Not even close, public school victim.

Thanks for the effort, I always enjoy reading a brief, fact-free reply.

I've always tried to communicate to the student's level of understanding.

It is not an opinion it is a fact. In this country, anyone under 18 can not sign a legally binding contract.

“Legal” does not mean mindless.
In other countries the age is lower.

You seem unable to get past this apples/oranges point so let me help. No (emancipated) 17 year old can legally sign a contract. Some 17 year olds can make adult decisions, some can't. Some 17 year olds can handle adult responsibilities, some can't.

Some 30 year olds can’t handle adult responsibilities.
I’d like to know how many 17 year olds you know that, barring mental limitations, can’t make their own decisions.
I’d also like to know how many people you know who are suddenly able to make their own decisions on their 18th birthday.

Life is a continuum but we find it useful to divide it into phases based on arbitrary milestones. We can all agree that a 1 year old can't understand a contract but (most) 30 year olds can. Somewhere between the two is a line and it is different for everyone. If you have a better suggestion for drawing that line, I'd love to hear it.

Here’s my suggestion...
All trespasser gang members get the death penalty.

All trespasser gang members get the death penalty.

So that would include 5 year olds?

To be carried out upon detection.

Yep!
Just like Hamas uses them for shields.
Collateral Damage is caused by perpetrators; blame them.

Wrong!!! Collateral Damage is caused by the finger on the trigger though sometimes it is the lesser of 2 evils.

You said death penalty which implies the gang member is in custody, being used as a shield implies they are not in custody. Executing a 5 year old that is in custody is inhuman and probably against the law everywhere on the planet. At least the one I live on.

Oh, yawn!
Some society’s train their children to be murderers while our Liberals are training their kids to be cross dressers.
It’s truly unfortunate, but most of these children have had their minds poisoned and the only way to stop this paradigm of poison is to send a harsh message.
Do you ever think about how much potential is obliterated by regimes?
Your “kind” method has not stopped centuries of oppression in any of these nations.

I guess you're an advocate of genocide then? It's the only sure-fire solution.
