A Cholla High School student has reached out to the News 4 Tucson Investigators after alleging that a history teacher compared President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler during a World War II lesson.
The student recorded parts of the lecture, feeling the teacher's comments were inappropriate.
"...your generation with the lowest information level is the biggest supporter of Donald Trump, he has that in common with Hitler too," said the teacher in the recording.
The student who captured the recording expressed concern over the teacher's comments and says it's hardly the first time they have blended their personal opinions into lessons.
"She’s trying to put her beliefs onto us," he said.
He added, "I don’t appreciate her telling me that me and my generation are Nazis for voting [for] or for being the biggest Trump supporters."
The student's father shared his frustration, describing the teacher's comments as bullying.
"It’s bullying because in a sense she’s calling our kids Nazis, for their beliefs. It’s not something our kids need to be hearing," said the father.
Believing the issue might be ignored by school authorities, the father said he didn't report it to the principal or school district but decided to turn to the News 4 Tucson Investigators for help.
"If I tell one person, the superintendent, principal, whoever I think it will fall on dead ears," he said.
The News 4 Tucson Investigators reached out to the teacher directly for her perspective but received no response. We sent the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD), which oversees Cholla High School, the video and it acknowledged the allegation.
"Tucson Unified is aware of the allegation and it's under investigation. Due to personnel privacy matters we are not able to disclose any other information," TUSD said in a statement.
According to TUSD’s policies, teachers may discuss political topics if "suitable for classroom studies" but must remain neutral.
The father and son hope for disciplinary action against the teacher.
"I believe there should be higher punishment for this," said the son.
"I think a lot more people need to see and stand up for this stuff and not allow it. This is our kid’s education we’re betting on here we just have got to do better," said the father.
The News 4 Tucson Investigators will continue to follow this story and provide updates as the district's investigation progresses.

It is time for separation of school and state.
And whose fault is that? Who has been the education system for the last 60 years? Unions and demonicRATS.
If Hitler was around today, he would high five that teacher.
I couldn’t agree more.

This is being visibly bored. It drives ranters wild.
They want you to agree or to be upset. They can not handle the fact that it is just washing over you.
You begin to yawn. Examine your finger nails. Count your teeth with your tongue. Ever now and then look back at the speaker and then glance at another student and raise your eyebrows, "Is she STILL talking?" Nod in answer. Yawn some more. Look at the clock.
It is also something that they can not nail you for, unless you are in the military.
Look out the window and gasp.
It will distract everyone.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Well put.
That works if there is a window. :)
