In Germany in 1938, Adolf Hitler outlawed homeschooling. He said “Give me a child when he’s seven and he’s mine forever.”

Um, wasn't this a quote by Lenin???

It appears to be a rewrite of the Jesuit motto, “Give me a child until he is seven and I will show you the man”.

The “mine forever” version has been attributed to St. Ignatius as well.

This article says the quote is from Hitler, but it could be mistaken:
