You’ve heard of the teacher who made a classroom comparison between President Bush’s State of the Union address and speeches made by Adolf Hitler? Or actually, you’ve probably heard, “Teacher compares Bush to Hitler” and not much more. That was all I got, until I went looking.
Quoting from this site:
On the recording, Bennish said some of Bush’s speech “sounds a lot like the things that Adolf Hitler used to say. We’re the only ones who are right, everyone else is backwards and our job is to conquer the world and make sure that they all live just like we want them to.”
And this is the controversy? Did Hitler say such things? Yes. Does Bush say such things? Yes. And the uproar is about…the teacher who tried to get his students to think?
