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.
Hitler was also methed up most of the time. If we're going to compare the two men on one front, can we look at this one too?

But no. The rant this man gives is out of line. I would not have a problem with teachers talking about their own religion in the classroom, but this man doesn't seem the type (at least in this verbal spew) to academically discuss things; he seems to like to yell them, push them, force them.

By the way, a lot of the heads of the tobacco companies like to make their home in Lexington, Kentucky and the surrounding area. Sure, Durham is still involved in the process... but that was a job they were much more renowned for around the middle of the last century. So while he condemns the use of force in other countries based on outright false or extremely questionable reasoning, he asks if other countries should not bomb us... based on outright false or extremely questionable reasoning. Way to go.
