I hate when people demonize Hitler, even though he should be, of course.

What Hitler DID he only good do because of the "good Germans"

So, people should look at THIS and take the lesson from this and DON'T BE A GOOD GERMAN.

In Denmark, everyone including the King put on the gold star and no Danish Jews were killed.

You must be delusional.

Bush got a joint resolution of Congress to fight terrorism and also got a joint resolution of Congress to remove Saddam Hussein.

Bush also got a UN resolution which promised severe consequences for Saddam if he didn't immediately live up to his "cease fire" agreement.

Saddam didn't and he got those severe consequences the UN resolution promised.

"Bush abused his power"
Bullshiiit.

Bush is about as far from Hitler as it's possible to get. Only in the minds of delusional leftists....who are attempting to protect and defend their little Marxist Messiah O'Bomber, is Bush anything like Hitler.

Btw, Hitler was a Socialist. Just like delusional leftists...the usual suspects and accidental Americans.

It's disgusting and contemptible for an idiot teacher to assign homework based on a comparison between Bush and Hitler. This moron teacher should be fired and their teaching credentials yanked.

Stop trying to defend your Marxist Messiah with blithering idiocy.

Without exception the headlines of the reports on this use only COMPARE which makes a big difference to the understsnding of the assignment if we dont assume what hasnt been divulged...what did those texts, both approved separately by the school ...actually say about these two men. We can see that the teacher has said Bush abused his power going into Iraq (debatable) but we don't KNOW anything else.

I am appealing for cool heads as opposed to going off halfcocked at a half-told story...nothing more. Not arguing the merits of the assignment.

Bush and Hitler are irrelevant in this situation. The irresponsibility of putting such thoughts into young children's minds is what we have to worry about. The age appropriateness for this lesson was obviously a mistake, most likely with an intent of bringing awareness, but in no way are 6th graders able to think through comparisons like this on their own.

This is how it all begins - indoctrinating young children who cannot think for themselves. They can only make wrong assumptions at this age. Children have always been known to repeat what parents and/or adult role models have to say.

I guess jwhop can't bring himself to utter how Hitler and Obama can be CONTRASTED.

I dont know any public schools who bring Hitler and the Nazis into 6th grade. It iS age inappropriate but we don't know what the texts were so we are responding to half a story.

Both were elected. Both invaded other countries on false pretexts swallowed by the majority. Both were in their forties. And both were backed by the Bush family.

Hitler was a stirring speaker by all account, Bush not. Hitler was raised Catholic, Bush not. Hitler created Jewish ghettos and sent people to concentration camps. Bush did not.

Heinous, right?

Perhaps teacher was trying to kill the connection many people made between Bush and Hitler. Do we know enough to judge that? No.

Still not age appropriate but the assumptions and righteous indignation based on half truths is dangerous.

People recoil at the very name Hitler. Programmed reaction to this story GUARANTEED apparently.

Obama continued the economic mistakes but improved the image of USA in the civilized world through his eloquence. But he does not have any adviser, he has to to take all the bouquets or brickbats. His mistakes in Libya and Syria are well known.

Both Bush and Obama won two terms but Obama won handsomely and without controversy.
Hitler "stole" elections and was an unapologetic mass murdered who invaded for the sake of Nazi German "Living Space".
