Just curious if you think everything Luther ever taught, wrote or preached should be trash canned because of what he wrote towards the end of his life? Is what your wife taught about Luther to her students necessary for them to understand and believe the gospel and the Catechisms somehow negligent because it left out his anti-Semitic feelings? Anyone can find out by simple searches on the Internet. It's not like they are hidden. But how are they relevant today?

Since the 1980s, Lutheran denominations have repudiated Martin Luther's statements against the Jews and have rejected the use of them to incite hatred against Lutherans. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther)

No. I think teachers should've been prepared by including what he wrote towards the end of his life in the curriculum - and that not including it in the curriculum so was cowardly, dishonest, and negligent.

And yet I do not nor ever have seen that kind of honestly and transparency out of Catholics or Catholicism in regards to their sordid history.
