Of Course They Did

I would file this under, "Did Nazi this coming," but I am not at all surprised that The Tennessee Federation of Republican Women cited Adolph Hitler when recommending a reading list for children.

Of course once it got noticed, it was withdrawn.

Go figure.

The Tennessee Federation of Republican Women is coming under fire for providing parents a reading list for children that cites Adolf Hitler as an example of leadership.

"Hitler and all intelligent leaders throughout history have understood that the way to change a country was through the training of its youth, to get them while they are young," the group's reading list says.

The list, dated March 2024, is titled "Growing American Patriots Through Literacy" and posted on the group's website.

A parents group in Indiana faced a similar controversy in June 2023, citing the German dictator in a newsletter. The newsletter cited Hitler, with the quote, "He alone, who OWNS the youth, GAINS the future."

The Indiana group, a chapter of Moms for Liberty, apologized for including the quote in the newsletter.

To quote Woody Allen: (Yes, I know, I'm quoting Woody Allen, but this says it all)

We should go down there and get some guys together, get some bricks and baseball bats and really explain things to them.

Well, a satirical piece in the Times is one thing but bricks and baseball bats really gets right to the point.

Tennessee Nazis.  I have Tennessee Nazis.
