Since both Democrats and Conservatives agree that fascism is an evil that shouldn't rear its ugly head again. Should the defining characteristics of it be taught in our public schools?

Below is a link to a private school. I just want to know if it should be taught to all public school students?

if you can give a reason why, not just a yes or no.

Liberty Tree

I notice you did not mention your favorite ideology of communism.

People are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common enemy:
• racial
• ethnic or religious minorities
• liberals
• communists
• socialists
• terrorists

Does the shoe fit?

Yes , absolutely it should be taught .
For identification purposes .
As should Slavery .
For identification purposes , horror ,
And negative aspects of the outcomes .
This would’ve forewarned the dupes we have on the right today who are now embracing Putin , Un , Duterte , Orban , Ordonne , Xi xin ping !
And all of trumps so called pals .
We should. Be working toward a more perfect
American Union ,
Not toward destroying everything we’ve built this country to be .
Standing for 243 years without giving in to
Fascist Nazi Dictators ,
Communist Autocrat Dictators
Monarchical Theological despots !
Or any other singular type rulers who want to abolish 243 years of progress .
This small group of Magas are not a majority .
It is only a small group of gullible people who think they are part of something big .
Not because they are , but because that is what Donald keeps telling them.
They are nothing more than handmaidens for the
Oligarchy who funds all of their nonsense .
People like the tea party originators
The Koch Family!!!!
The Mercers !!
A small group of people who think they are much more popular , they are not , it’s what they are told .
Oligarchian foot soldiers fighting against their own Freedom And Liberty !!!!!!
Who have been told , they are winning !!!!
They are not .
Lying , Cheating and Stealing is no way to win hearts and minds for the Big Election !
As a minority they cannot win !
So , as they have been doing , purging valid legal voters from the rolls, closing voting precincts , unreasonable rules for waiting in the long lines they’ve created .,
Misinformation about ballots , dates , signatures , and a whole host of dirty tricks being employed of one thing !
They are a minority that cannot win any election legally !!!!
LEGALLY !!!!!
In order for the right to win you must
first buy the lie !!!
that they only won because of their lying cheating and stealing .
So , yes identifying the problem so called governments would shape how we should be protecting our own interests. !!!
Democracy is by no means the best choice ,
However it is a better choice than Any of the rest !

Each/every one of these misery inducing/murderous Left-Wing ideologies (fascism (fairly accurate depiction of fascism)/socialism/communis) should be thoroughly explained. Not just that they are evil, but their evil RESULTS should be stressed.
Left-Wing Core Beliefs are:
False Accusations
False Imprisonments
State Sanctioned Torture
State Sanctioned Murder

And right in line with those "Core Beliefs" there are over 150 MILLION innocent men/women/children murdered by their own Left-Wing Utopian governments. There is no way to truly quantify the false accusations/false imprisonments/state sanctioned torture routinely imposed by Left-Wing Utopian governments...but no doubt it far exceeds the 150 million murdered.

Yes. It is important for all free people to know everything that relates to fascism, because we can't it, if we don't recognize the warning signs, and the evil it represents.

The tenants of rage against people like you who have outlived their usefulness, and should be put down should be taught.

Justice101

Read Full Spin's thread about the arrest of Steve Baker, the investigative journalist and you will know that we already have a fascist government on display.

When I was in high school, and we were studying WWll, we studied Fascism. So since the devolution of Trump, it is more important than ever to study Fascism.

Some education decision makers do not want people to know too much.

Thy tend to frown the liberal arts.

And not to mention Cathrine Herridge who is in contempt because she doesn't want to say who her sources are...

What a deceptive argument. First off you do not make it clear whether you mean the material is pro or con. Next you lump some obvious Fascist material in with material that is not necessarily Fascist.

Typical Leftist propaganda moment.
