Teacher Asking Students to Think Like Nazis Suspended
BJL ^ | 4/13/13 | AP

ALBANY, N.Y. - A high school English teacher in New York state who had students pretend to be Jew-hating Nazis in a writing assignment has been placed on leave.

The teacher at Albany High School caused a storm of criticism after having students practice the art of persuasive writing by penning a letter to a fictitious Nazi government official arguing that "Jews are evil."

District Superintendent Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard held a news conference Friday to apologize for the assignment.

The Times Union newspaper reported on Saturday that the teacher was not in class on Friday and had been placed on leave by the school district.

I have no idea what this teachers ethnicity is nor do I care.
Having said that, I will now remind him/her of a quote from Adolf Hitler. “ We have nothing to worry about from the United States, it is nothing but a nation of niggers, spics, and jews”. please be aware that this is not my terminology, but that of a megalomaniac socialist that this teacher seems to find acceptable.
Hope the quote does not get me thrown off FR but I think this teacher needs to be aware of the fact that the Nazis hated every one who did not meet their racial profile,including me.

Well...that's not entirely accurate.
You may recall they were quite tolerant of the Japanese who were not well known for being tall, blue-eyed blonds; Arabs and Persians were also acceptable.

In other words, the Nazis were more like democrats, tolerant only of those of like mindset (as long as they weren't conserv... I mean, Jewish).

Same game, different players. Same intended result (as soon as they disarm us, that is).

Have you ever seen that thing about the teacher who announced to her class that blue-eyed kids were better than brown-eyed kids. After a week or two, she changed up and said the brown-eyed kids were better than the blue-eyed kids. In each case the kids lorded over their “inferiors”. During the whole lesson she talked of this word coming from the great leader. At the end of the lesson, she revealed the great leader to be Hitler.

...They do not want to contrast the current Administration with the Nazi’s, people might wake up and understand the similarities

“See how insidious these regimes are with their powerful images and martial display and nifty uniforms.’ I don’t know what this teacher was trying to do but I know showing kids how you can easily end up a true believing totalitarian (that includes Demodummies) is pretty powerful and sobering.”””

And so it goes with Odumbo’s “brown shirt” youths about to be (And those already in training).

Today’s school child is no longer being “taught”, they are being “Programmed”. What’s in a word and like Hilliary said, What difference does it make?”.

I’ve got news for you. With 55 million legal, surgical abortions and about that many unreported, chemically induced, through certain types of birth control pills, we are at twice as many murders as the old soviet Union, leaving the Nazis so far behind in the dust that we’re in a league of our own.

College professor tells students to stomp on Jesus, this teacher tells students to write how Jews are evil. Another teacher in Florida has students write that they are willing to give up some of their freedoms. Anyone who allows their children to be subjected to this crap deserves what they get.

Funny how libtards suffer such cognitive dissonance. A buddy told me he saw this while driving through a nearby college town: There was a black dude standing on the town common yelling about “racism” while wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt.

Talk about clueless...

The teacher in question prolly identifies with the Most Rev Jesse ‘Hymietown’ Jackson’s color and sentiments about the Jews.

Exactly. Learning how your enemies think is a useful skill. (If that was the point of this teacher’s exercise)

These union school teachers have truly hit rock bottom.

Ooops that’s not a picture of the teacher but of the superintendent, who is deliberately concealing the teacher's identity to protect her. Her bad!

It was her goal. She was a classic Cold War liberal. She had lived 1929-1945 and had gone from a pinko in college and during the Popular front days to being a relentless anti-communist. She saw the Soviets as the Third Reich only bigger and more dangerous. Unfortunately her type of liberal has mostly died with the WW2 generation.

Imagine if she asked them to take the cause of the KKK and say why Blacks were inferior to whites? or if she had asked them to write about how Mexicans were not as bright as whites or if they could say why Arabs and their religion was all wrong? But these topics would never be addressed. The new group to hate is the Jews! I thought I would never live to see this day in America. Whats next? forcing them to wear yellow stars of David?
