How can you be 43 and not know who Hitler was and what he did?

55. Education is not failing over the details of past events, it is failing because it doesn't teach

people to think for themselves. Education is not providing kids with a functioning bullshit meter. The Far right has used that to their advantage. For years they have pounded lies into the heads of people to the point that an exciting lie trumps a boring truth. The "Q" bunch illustrates that perfectly.

I started school in the late 1950s. There was not a lot of formal education about the WWII era, because our fathers lived it and they knew what Nazis were, and they universally despised them. Formal education today is being diluted by the informal education that comes from places like Fox or Twitter; unfiltered BS is given the same weight as a well documented study and the young people have not learned to separate the wheat from the chaff. Any talking head is an "authority."

It is hard for me to believe that anyone, who is not a sociopath, who knows what the Nazis were all about, could actually celebrate them, for the whole rotten system was the definition of evil.
