Hitler was a brilliant strategist, an excellent orator, and a driven man. It should be EASY to draw similarities between him and many different leaders or movers in this world. He studied speach and filmed himself to learn to be a better motivational speaker. He had a father who pushed him to excell in military school (if I remember right - it's been years since I read Mine Kampf (sp?) ).

Hitler managed to accomplish what he did because he knew how to move the public in his direction. Any leader needs to do that or they are not a leader. The problem is the insane direction in which the German public was lead.

I guess the question that this teacher did not address - What would have happened had the people who followed Hitler NOT followed him?? and What would happen if we did not follow the direction that our government is taking??

I do believe that the teacher needs to stick with his subject matter. A classroom is not intended to be each teacher's soapbox. If it was then we'd have teachers talking about their own religion and we don't do we??

Disagreeing with a teacher politically should not be a problem. I differed with a teacher in government class in highschool. The teacher gave me full credit for all my work so long as I was able to support my position.
