Some Republicans are upset about a Trump Comparison With Hitler. To me, it seems very appropriate.
But this story was just a small note in my Sunday paper. It was probably a bigger story in the Baltimore area. So when I had the time, I looked for more information. Now seems like a good time to say what this is all about.
Students in an Advanced Placement (AP) History class at Loch Raven high school (Baltimore County) had a lesson comparing President Trump with Nazis and communists.
Hitler and Stalin must have come up in the discussion since they were mentioned by Delegate Kathy Szeliga (R-Baltimore County).
I have previously made the comparison between President Trump and Adolf Hitler in this blog while discussing books about Nazi Germany. I don’t think I ever discussed Stalin but I’m pretty sure I mentioned Putin and President Trump in the same post at least once.
I believe it is appropriate to discuss a variety of ideas including this comparison in an AP course. After all these are advanced students with college plans and should be able to evaluate and discuss ideas such as this.
