The following is a couple of paragraphs from Britannica about how the Nazi's were transforming Germany. It could just as well be a description of the transformation going on now in our country. We know how it ended there, do you think it will bd different here?
Nazi Germany
After Adolf Hitler’s accession to power in 1933, the Nazis set out to reconstruct German society. To do that, the totalitariangovernment attempted to exert complete control over the populace. Every institution was infused with National Socialistideology and infiltrated by Nazi personnel in chief positions. Schools were no exception. Even before coming to power, Hitlerin Mein Kampf (1925–27; “My Struggle”) had hinted at his plans for broad educational exploitation. The Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda exercised control over virtually every form of expression—radio, theatre, cinema, the fine arts, the press, churches, and schools. The control of the schools began in March 1933 with the issuing of the first educational decree, which held that “German culture must be treated thoroughly.
The Nazi government attempted to control the minds of the young and thus, among other means, intruded Nazi beliefs into the school curriculum. A major part of biology became “race science,” and health education and physical training did not escape the racial stress. Geography became geopolitics, the study of the fatherland being fundamental. Physical training was made compulsory for all, as was youth labour service. Much of the fundamental curriculum was not disturbed, however.
Congratulations to all of you who wanted this. Your wish is being granted.
