Mission Accomplished.
...and 1/3 believes the earth is flat.
It’s almost as if someone wanted to dumb down a generation so they’re more compliant & accepting of totalitarianism.
How many people died in WWI - without looking it up please.
And therefore likely that 9 in 10 have no idea of the many 10s of millions killed by Stalin and Mao. Since they are uneducated, they believe the propaganda that socialism / communism would be just super.
This really has nothing to do with our education system. I never about any of this in school. It wasn’t because I got a poor education. It just isn’t a subject that would be covered in any of the history classes we had. It’s not like Auschwitz was in Pennsylvania.
the public schools here start teaching the holocaust in 4th grade. Too early IMO. Catholic schools, maybe 6th?
I wish they would cover Communist slaughters. For sure they cover the deaths in the American slave trade and wars against the natives.
For sure they don’t cover Muslim conquest and slaughter.
What a bloody species we are.
I hate polls like this. They really don't tell us much. In some public schools the teachers are allowed to actually spend their time teaching students who are curious and inquisitive. In other public schools, the teachers' primary concern is staying off worldstar as they're getting beaten to a pulp for taking away someone's cell phone.
They also don’t know about Wounded Knee and the Trail of Tears either.
I bet not 1 in 10 know that Soviet and Maoist Communists killed ~100 millions in the 20th Century, either.
Public education is all about victims and oppressors, you can bet the Holocaust gets covered in detail at the expense of other equally significant events and periods.
Then they certainly know of the tens of millions Of his own people Stalin murdered. Or the tens of millions of his own people Mao murdered.
Do they teach history in schools anymore to include the persecution and annihilation of 6 million Jews, many thousands of handicapped persons, gypsys, homosexuals and others they perceived as undesirable for their Aryan race??

Yeah. But at least they take magnificent 'selfies' and can discuss the latest LGBTQ stuff at great length.
Bet Hogg and his gun grabbers haven’t a clue on this subject, either.
Well then, it’s probably a safe bet that they have no clue of the genocides perpetrated by the communists scumbags AFTER WWII.
The Cambodians, Hutu’s, Tutsi’s,etc. unfortunately do not control American media.
the millennials in my company barely know they’re alive.
I’ll bet 10 out of 10 know who Nat Turner was.
People who deny or are ignorant of the Holocaust generally do not support Israel. History has shown that without an informed citizenry, it is almost impossible to reach a rational common consensus.
