      When did he say that? Probably after McCarthyism. It would have been beneficial to teach about fascism and fascism tactics to teens in the 1940s, so they'd be prepared to recognize McCarthyism and oppose it, instead of being afraid of Communist spies and propagandists among those writing books, making movies and plays, and so on.

    I am a boomer and Black retired U.S. veteran and normally very little that happens in the States moves me emotionally. The topics discussed in this video make me angry. I don't fear the white supremacist republican's and their "Project 2025" because I have seen it all before. I live in Texas, and I have witnessed the ommission of critical American history in my own grandchildren. Their lack of civic engagement and subsequent lack of understanding of the power of their vote I now realize was intentionally taught to them in schools my tax dollars helped to fund. What can be done to turn this awful trend around in Texas and other southern states besides simply voting for Democrats?

      Informing family and friends of what has been going on in schools and helping them understand that voting for all levels of local elections,...school boards, judges, sheriffs, every office impacts the systems that allow the right to make and enforce laws that oppress and steal our right to know the truth. Learning about systemic oppression that is rooted in the past but has continued in different forms is vital. When you look for answers, be wary of the sources. Right wing propaganda sites often have names that sound like "traditional values". Don't be afraid of looking for "leftist" sources. The right fear mongers about socialism and keeps people from learning about the best ideas to fight the system and raise up marginalized groups. The cruelties committed on citizens are a class war but disguised as "social and moral" issues to keep the working class fearful of each other and distracted from the agenda of the rich. Educating ourselves, our children and grandchildren, our friends and neighbors if we can, is the best way to fight for the hope of a better future for all. The far right has replaced compassion with vengeance over exaggerated differences. If you are Christian, notice how the things they do and say are very unlike what Jesus would do and challenge that.

      Show up and represent at the local level, even if you're going door to door to represent a less-than-perfect candidate you can still have a conversation and perhaps plant a seed of positive change. Volunteer if you can, even if it's getting children to practice reading in an after school setting, you don't have to "indoctrinate" into any specific ideology to try and encourage an enthusiasm for learning and teach them how to back up their ideas with evidence. Make individual connections, so that divisive propaganda is weakened by authentic experience .

      Human history is rife with origin stories. They who revise history win the game. The winners of the myth-making become the hegemonic culture. Men writing in the desert 2000 years ago knew this. Then, years later, they lock it in so you aren't even allowed to discuss it (hence the blasphemy laws and book banning/burning). In a nut shell, we lie to ourselves, and the more people who believe that lie, the better for the power brokers who originate the lie. What do we do about it? Well, we could start by critiquing the actual history of Christianity. The short answer is no. There is nothing you can do about it. We have to keep towing the lie. The talking animals? The empty tomb? The miracles? All fabrication. But, you'd better not talk about it or point out the lies.

    I took a toodle through my child's 5th grade "Social Studies" text book and shot off to the principal's office like a madwoman. There was a full page spread of Robert E Lee with a full illustration on the facing page. In the text we learned he had been 1st in his class at Westpoint, that his horse was named Traveller and that his home was now Arlington Cemetery. What we didn't learn is that he was stripped of his US Citizenship and had turned down the leadership of the Union Armies- potentially causing untold hundreds of thousands to die. This supposed "textbook" was used because it complemented the standardized tests my child was forced to endure and her teachers were forced to prepare her for. This happened in Chicago Illinois- the "Land of Lincoln". The state that elected him Representative. The city Mary Lincoln lived in after the assassination. Abominable. Thanks for this. Mr. Stanley is a treasure and I always look forward to his scholarship.

      I'm a boomer and can tell you our history books were differant than the ones in Northern states. I'm talking about elementary school. I would think that by the time you reach college age you'd have learned the important parts correctly. But down here it's pure ignorance and pride for "our heritage". Dude, it's not our heritage. It's our shame for some to still think the south won the Civil War. I'm old enough to have seen George Wallace at his worst standing at the door not letting black kids enter. It shames me to this day and this is still a state full of racist and bigots that teach their kids to be the same. I hope to see a difference but it's hard to educate the hate out of people if they don't care to learn the past correctly. Like I said , ignorance runs rampant down here.

No one alive today is a slaver owner!” And all I can think is, “No, but my grand parents were sharecroppers. 1 of my grandparents were actually born on the plantation our family had been forced to labor on. And my parents were never slaves but my mother’s aunt was a child of a slave and my parents integrated the public schools in our city.” This history is not so far behind us.

      Investing in the security and well-being of nations like Ukraine and Israel, and extending support to the Iranian people like smart sanctions on Oil exports of Islamic Republic but letting Iranians make money online through services, is crucial because our populations share a common wealth of talents, technologies, and values that foster economic growth, human rights, and fundamental freedoms. This understanding is lost on extremist ideologies like fascism, Marxism, and jihadism, which often rely on zero-sum thinking. For evidence, consider the arguments presented in 'Enlightenment Now' by Steven Pinker. Those who disagree are invited to engage in a constructive debate at Atheist Republic, where we can explore the merits of liberal values and the flaws in authoritarian models. Embracing liberalism allows for mutually beneficial outcomes, whereas extremist ideologies often require someone to lose in order for them to gain.

    When I had to home-school my children due to many moves, this was one of my guiding principles in developing my own curriculum. The effect of this choice was, and is, obvious. My kids read news critically, not consuming news and subsequent media. Plus, their choices in reading material (novels, etc.) reflect this. As adults, they feel dismayed by behind-the-scenes work of fascist American conservatism in many of our systems. Interesting side note, my son is thinking of serving in the military; he believes in the ideal that the US could be. As a disabled veteran with education, I am proud of my kids. They give me hope. What is problematic with this is that I had to wrest control away from our education system - giving the Republicans/GOP want they want: "See! The system is failing. And, we know what to do." The Republican Party lost their way, falling headlong into a modern fascist party.

Putin has invaded his neighbors 5 times now and annexed their land, saying he needs to 1) protect Russian minorities, 2) correct the historical wrong that was the break-up of the USSR, and 3) bring back the glory of Imperial Russia, and 4) expand the range of the "Russian world".

Wars / conflict are pretty much always over resources on some level .

Someone can have more than one ethnicity: Some Jews are both Jewish and Spanish; or both Jewish and French. Jews are an ethnic group. I know someone who is Jewish and has an Italian background.

      My understanding is that it's largely due to the professors. And it's not JUST Jewish students who are negatively affected. It's Jewish faculty as well. I'm in Canada. In the United States, there's been two murders of Roman Catholic men who were mistaken for Jewish and murdered in hate crimes. These were two totally separate incidents. My point is that everyone is affected, not just the small Jewish community. Absolutely everyone is affected.
      As for Gaza, I am against the Gaza War. But I am pro-Israel. But these protests are NOT about Gaza. They are about being anti-Israel and against Western civilization and un-American. Completely agree with your comments.

    East Germany is not a fluke, it mirrors trends in former Soviet states, trends that never went away, just went into the cellar for a bit.
    The starting point (oversimplification) for AfD, Fidesz and E European populist movements is the, mainly rural, populations' yearning for the old times of simplicity, hierarchy and order, when men ruled and minorities had no place in society. Stalinism took Leninism one step further, by adding even stronger authoritarianism and the mythical concept it shares with Fascism, the quasi-religious, mythical aspects of nationalism.
    It's the authoritarianism they miss, not the Soviet era and from the memories of Stalinism to fascism, the step is short.

    I agree with Professor Stanley but what blows me away are the institutions like Yale, Harvard and Columbia, how they quickly buckled under what I saw as minimal pressure. We've read that donors told those schools if they didn't condemn those student protesters they'd stop donating to those institutions. That would have been the time for those Ivy League Institutions to show politicians and donors their mettle about American's Constitutional rights. These are schools with endowments in the tens of billions of dollars, they could have weathered the storm but they all chose to cave.

    As a HS Teacher, I have had parents (two) complain about the teaching of the Holocaust in Nazi Germany and the teaching of American slavery, asking that “the other side” be taught, too. Historical context provides for multiple points of view, but facts will never justify holocausts or slavery as legitimate. White fragility doesn’t want context and facts: white fragility wants justifications that allow them to enjoy the consequences of their privilege, no matter how it was earned. Education is not meant to pacify. It is meant to teach logic and facts and critical thinking. Critical thinking has become akin, in the mind of the modern day settlers, as “woke”.

    As a German, I didn't learn in school how battles were fought in history class, I learned how the manipulation of the masses with hatred and division lead to the national socialists take power. And I see it all over happening again in various shapes and forms all over the world. But the US is especially vulnerable it seems to me. Alone the pledge of allegiance reminds me so much to the Hitlerjugend. You are free to debate me on this topic, but as I see it, even a pledge to a flag is taking away the critical freedom of a young person to question the system they grow up with. And from there its not far to a totally brain washed society that celebrates the cult of a personality. Just look how that works with Trump, but also other celebs like Elon Musk.

      I agree with you. America, despite being a pluralist nation, is also very nativist. We love our “nation of immigrants” story but we have also been very hostile to immigrants at many points in our history. If you even question the pledge of allegiance, for example, most people would reflexively say you were unpatriotic. But it’s a ridiculous argument. Many people who criticise the government come from a place of patriotism, wanting the country to live up to its highest ideals. Simply put, patriotism is about love of country. Nationalism is about ethnicity. I don’t think Americans really get the difference at all, but it’s a big one, which as a German of course you know and understand much more than we do. I have many German friends and they have taught me so much and are looking on at American with deep distress.
