DC School Asks Students To Compare George W. Bush To Hitler



A scene from NBC4's report on the assignment

The Washington D.C. school system is on the defensive after one of its sixth-grade teachers reportedly asked students to compare and contrast former President George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler.

According to NBC4, the school system said the unnamed teacher in question will apologize after admitting to "extremely poor judgment" in the Venn Diagram assignment. District of Columbia Public Schools released a statement on the matter late Wednesday night.

"The teacher deeply regrets this mistake, and any suggestion to malign the presidency or make any comparison in this egregious way," the statement read. "The teacher admits to extremely poor judgment and short sightedness and will apologize to students. The school will also send a letter home to families explaining the incident and offering to address any additional questions should they arise."

The school system also stressed that the curriculum materials did not actually suggest comparing Hitler "to any other individual."

"This week, a DCPS teacher created a worksheet to assign as homework which asked students to compare and contrast President George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler, after reading two texts. No DCPS curriculum materials suggest in any way that teachers should compare the texts in this manner or compare Hitler to any other individual. One text, 'Fighting Hitler – A Holocaust Story' is part of the current suggested materials. The text about President Bush is not suggested as part of the current year’s curriculum, but was included last year in a separate unit," the statement said.

This and these type of teachers are all thru our current school system. Idiots that hate this nation as it was founded. The colleges -liberal/leftist professors are turning them out by the scores.
All part of the leftist movement to destroy from within.
I should know I've had many arguments with such know it all college grads over the years and one thing strikes me every time---- that is--
just how damn stupid they are! How ignorant of history and that is key.
How indoctrinated with "false facts" straight from textbooks or so they have told me.
Its mind boggling that so many to college and come out even more ignorant than when they went in.. -Tyr

Looking forward to finding out who this "teacher" is.

Identity revealed in 4... 3... 2...


A public school teacher in Washington who instructed sixth-graders to compare former President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler has learned her own lesson, according to district officials, but critics wonder why she still has a job.

D.C. Public Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson responded to the controversy late Wednesday on Twitter, saying no curriculum intended to make the comparison “in any way” and that the district and unidentified teacher are “deeply apologetic” about the matter. Henderson said the teacher has been ordered to apologize to the class.


“No DCPS curriculum says 2 make these comparisons in any way,” Henderson wrote. “Teacher used poor judgment & will apologize.”


Marc Thiessen, who worked for five years as Bush’s chief speechwriter, said the teacher should be terminated immediately.


“A person who can’t tell the difference between George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler shouldn’t be teaching children,” Thiessen told FoxNews.com. “This isn’t even political bias, this is utter incompetence.”

The teacher sent the students home with this :

The instructions read :


Now that we have read about two men of power who abused their power in various ways, we will compare and contrast them and their actions.


Please refer to your texts "Fighting Hitler—a Holocaust story" and "Bush: Iraq War Justified Despite No WMD" to compare and contrast former President George W. Bush and Hitler.


We will use this in class tomorrow for an activity!

And we wonder why our youth have no concept of history and why they hold the incredibly naive political views that they do.

She needs to be fired immediately.


On a side note, I'm really on a roll today. This is the second firing I've called for this morning, and I'm only on my 2nd pot of coffee! :coffee:

They say, or do things to hurt other people intentionally, then Instantly apologize for saying, or doing what they Intended to do all along. But Liberal teaching, and training to pretend they are sorry....apologetic after they Intentionally destroy others with their SANCTIONED, and APPLAUDED Liberal hatred is always their EXCUSE to do, and say whatever they want; while making them feel superior to others to whom THEY LIE.

The school district refuses to release the name of the teacher.

Shouldn't be too hard to figure out, there's only 5 English teachers on staff at that school :

I'm going to hazard a guess and point the finger at Rachel Broudy, based on her little bio given there.

That would be ideal, for sure.

My oldest boy graduated from the same public HS that I did, and our other kids are going the same route... Sharon and I have our daughters in HS now, and my youngest boy is in public middle school.

We've been fortunate that we're friends with a few teachers that have our kids, and with minor corrections here & there on historical events from me, they've been on the mark from what I've seen.

Certainly nothing on the scale such as in the OP, or there would have been hell to pay across the board from 99% of the local parents.

DC will never release the name of Obama's next nominee to run ACORN. In fact. Nobody in Washington who worships the Messiah now living at 1600 Pennsylvania ave; wants to spoil the chances for employment after the Messiah leaves America with the Muslim hiding place he now enjoys....such as....

Actually, the students were asked to compare AND contrast Bush and Hitler.

And in the police state that used to be the USA Bush and Obama both compare to Hitler in many ways.

Completely legitimate assignment.

Since Bush has absolutely NOTHING to do with US government now and hasn't for the past six years....and even the preceding two years he was merely a lame duck pres with no power....

a more legitimate assignment would have been comparing and contrasting Obama to Stalin. In fact, teaching the history of communism throughout the world and the damage it has done would be a completely legitimate assignment for students in all states to be learning. But we know why it isn't being taught....

don't we.

He needs to be insulted as often as possible just to remind everyone of what an evil fool he was. And it seems you emulate him.

My sister and I were raised conservative Republican. My sister is a PhD and has turned into a mindless liberal lemming. She has been brainwashed to believe the liberal rhetoric. Now she says we're all ignorant, too "uneducated" to know the truth. When I ask her political questions, she knows nothing, absolutely nothing. So much for the "educated liberals".

Then it would be a legit assignment, based on your very own words, to compare you to a leader of the KKK and/or a writer of a handbook on how to beat women. Considering your comments on black people, and about women, I think the comparisons can easily be made. :)

If students were asked to compare and contrast you to Jeffry Dalhmer then you'd consider that a valid examination or would you boldly declare-----that's ffing absurd?
There is insult, folly and a false comparison being made in the Bush case.
How about in your case?

Get my point?--Tyr

Completely fair, and I would welcome the comparison and contrast.

What you aren't taking into account here is that Hitler and GWB are both historical figures of some note. Why is it unreasonable to compare and contrast them?

Now , if the teacher were to make unfair marks against students who rightfully pointed out that there were more of a contrast between the two than there were comparisons, then you have a problem.

But just to say "How were Hilter and Bush alike and how were they different" doesn't signify any such intent.

If that were the case, then the School District and the teacher would not have rushed to apologize for such poor judgement.

No, there was an agenda that the teacher was pursuing.

And then it would have also been perfectly acceptable for a public school to have kids compare/contrast Barack Obama and Joseph Kony. Or perhaps Nancy Pelosi with Susan Smith.

That's correct, all the idiots involved knew they were screwed and decided to play a quick game of CYA.

[NightTrain]

What is amazing to me is that the name of that teacher wasn't ever revealed.

The School District, fellow teachers and random parents did a better job at protecting the identity of the offending teacher than the NSA.

: insert Snowden joke here :

[aboutime]

If anyone bothers to investigate further into the Washington DC school system. You will find how this story seems to document, and provide even more truth about why that entire School District SPENDS THE MOST MONEY for education, and consistently has the LOWEST SCORES, and HIGHEST DROPOUT rates of children who CANNOT READ,COUNT, or SPELL the word "GRADUATION".

[Born2DecadesLate]

I would agree with you about THIS particular teacher. I was only speaking in the abstract.
