    An Indiana GOP state senator said teachers ‘need to be impartial’ during lessons about Nazism and fascism (and Marxism, although WaPo left that out of the headline)

    On Wednesday, during an Indiana state Senate committee hearing about a proposed bill that would ban “divisive concepts” in school classrooms, Republican Sen. Scott Baldwin said teachers’ lessons about fascism and Nazismshould be impartial.

    “Marxism, Nazism, fascism … I have no problem with the education system providing instruction on the existence of those ‘isms,’ ” said Baldwin, who co-wrote the bill. “I believe that we’ve gone too far when we take a position. … We need to be impartial.”

    Baldwin backtracked those comments Thursday following criticism. In an email to the Indianapolis Star, Baldwin said he was focused on the “big picture” of preventing teachers fromtelling students “what to think about politics.”

    He's right about those parts. The key to the Holocaust isn't the camp records, it's the train manifests.

    You should watch the 60 Minutes segment they did last night.
    A decade long investigation led by a top FBI guy with 30 years of cold-case expertise to determine who snitched on the family.
    A team of dozens of experts in various fields armed with the latest AI and forensic technology scoured records across the Netherlands and Germany.

    How can you possibly say the entire thing was fiction?

    Edit: Here, it's on YouTube:
