2. So, if you have a book that says governor Abbott has a brain ...

... you can also have one that states the truth.

3. It's bad enough.......

that people have not learned their history, but to think that those non-learners are in a leading role in our education system - just maddening!

4. So will Texas schools need to provide texts which advocate

the extermination of Jews, Romani people and other "undesirables" in Europe at the hands of the Nazis?

6. This is unthinkable. I believe the ...

… administrator that is speaking is actually on the side of the teachers, but is telling them what she has been told or what she is reading in the situation. It sounds like she is a little incredulous herself.

But the fact that our educators are having such conversations because a political party in this country has gone completely off the rails is, well, terrifying.

11. Agreed, I think this may be a case

where the social media lynch mob is going after the wrong target. Hopefully, this was just a bad example that was used on the fly. The wording of the tweet might not be very charitable as well.

7. as the child of two Auschwitz Holocaust survivors

what the hell is an "opposing" perspective?..six million Jews only have themselves to blame?..six million Jews willingly marched to the gas chambers?...payback for "killing" Jesus?... how dare this incredibly stupid woman instruct teachers to Fox News systematic genocide...to "fair and balance" Nazi atrocities!...shame on her, the odious Texas governor, and his "willing executioners"..

8. What they do is deny the number 6,000,000.

I know someone who was born in Poland shortly after WWII ended.

He listens to right-wing radio. It's some Polish equivalent of Fox news.

They tell him it wasn't 6 million. They say it was only a few thousand Jews, homosexuals, and gypsies.

He believes them and spouts this nonsense. It's infuriating. But, he is unshakable in his beliefs.

He's married to a Jewish woman, but frankly, it was a green-card marriage so he could stay in this country.
