When History Teachers Become Tools Of The State

"You teach World History. What do you know about Germany in 1933-1935? What do you teach your students about Hitler's transformation of a democratic republic to a dictatorship in less than 4 years? Did you know that 1934 was the last free election held in Germany until after World War II?"
I continued, "What event did Hitler use to grab total power in Germany?" "Are you aware of the significance of the Reichstag Fire?"
Again, Jeff squared his shoulders, looked me in the eye and answered firmly, "The Communists burned the Reichstag and the German people were incensed that a terrorist could attack their country."
"Ah yes, and who helped a man who was clearly mentally ill (and probably a paranoid schizophrenic) start multiple fires using the underground tunnels underneath the Reichstag? And why were there no police or other security people guarding the Reichstag that night?"
Not waiting for an answer, I continued, "Many historians believe that Hitler's own SA troops helped him start the fire. Then within hours of the Reichstag's burning, he was found, tried before Germany's Superior Court, declared guilty and executed. There was no real investigation of what happened. Hitler referred to the Reichstag fire as "a beacon from heaven." Most historians agree that he used the Reichstag fire for political purposes. The day following the fire, civil liberties were suspended and Hitler, along with the Gestapo, was in total control of Germany's destiny. And that destiny turned out to be World War II."
"You are not inferring that what happened in Germany could happen here, are you? You are not inferring that Bush is another Hitler. He has not identified a group to prosecute. This is America. This will not happen here."
