Those who fail to learn the lessons from the evil events in history are bound to repeat them.

They don’t teach it because they intend to repeat it, and don’t want youth to recognize the warning signs.

Adolph Hitler was the leader of the country of "Amsterdam."

Good Lord.

My neighbors two girls 10 years ago in high school had a whole two pages on WWII in their history book. Two pages, that’s it. It started with we provoked the war with Germany and Japan and finished with we were war criminals for using atomic bombs.

I asked my students 11 of the questions she asked. Over 80% knew the answers. These were 9-12 graders living in a Rural district in Virginia. all of them knew what the Holocaust was and where it began The vast majority knew that it was not just Jewish people that were killed, but some of them left out 1-2 groups in their list. Only one did not know that Germany was in France, but did know about D-Day (His Grandfather was one of the participants.)

Our district does teach it from 8th grade on.

They SHOULD know about this.

They should ALSO be taught about Stalin’s camps.

The horrors of Communism are right alongside the horrors of NAZIsm.

Snookie, the Kardasians, DWTS and you ace the test. Bonus question: who was Harvey Milk.

Hopefully, our nation will continue to produce warriors. If not, we are doomed.

I know how to correct this. It just depends on the approach.

Normandy: beaches where gay troops landed to defeat the Republicans.

Holocaust: a three-dimensional projection of gay people in camps being killed by Republicans.

Adolf Hitler: Republican leader

Pearl Harbor: Place where gay sailors and Marines were bombed by the Republicans.

Nuremberg: place where Republicans were tried for war crimes against gay, lesbian, and transgender citizens

I guarantee you this would get History Month treatment at CNN. Heck, if Howard Zinn weren't dead it would probably make A People's History II

I’d make book that half of these so-called intellectuals would think that the Holocaust has something to do with Glow-bull Warming. And 90% of those dolts probably believe that it’s the Tea Party behind the denials of GW.

Normally, this would be the point where I would say “never again”. But I now realize that when I die, there will be no one coming up behind me who understands what “never again” means.
