“School children being asked to question whether the Holocaust actually happened, “
In Germany, asking this would get you arrested and probably thrown in jail. It is actually illegal AFAIK to deny that the Holocaust happened there as I recall. I thought at one time that this was an outrageous affront to Western ideas of freedom. I am rethinking this position.
While I would never outlaw the question, its not a question that should be put to children. Its especially true in light of the general direction of education these days where they start with little anti capitalist cartoons and feed them a diet of hate for conservatives and wealth for 12 years.
When I was in high school we covered the Holocaust extensively with zero ambiguity because a couple of our male teachers were WWII vets and one was a Polish Jew with the scarred remains of a tattoo on his forearm.
