1 in 5 young adults think Holocaust is a myth

oh, it's about money. of, course.

 

Well more like control of capital or access to it. Having a comfortable salary isn’t that.

 

We stayed at a BNB next to one of the largest Temple in Paris. The local streets were safed off with security guards at each and and roaming private security patrols. It isn't just in the USA

 

I keep hearing how dangerous the influence of TikTok is. I'm just wondering if there is evidence that it is spewing disinformation and misinformation with regard to antisemitism topics?

 

Is it TiK Tok, and/or has education, instruction and emphasis of the Holocaust been reduced to a glimpse of what it was in the classroom over the decades to make room and more emphasis for the current topics of the day? IE: CRT, minority group causes, DEI and climate change.

There are only so many hours in the educational day. Some topics had to be scaled back to make room for the current agenda.

 

Whatever the level of Holocaust instruction its much more than instruction people get on the plight of the Palestinians. Even outside of school, there is much more American media devoted to the Holocaust, the Nazis and WWII as a subject matter than anything happening in the Middle East that doesn't involve Americans directly. Maybe they should teach people about Palestine in school, then it would just be boring stuff at school, not 'forbidden knowledge' the government and media wont tell you.

 

Short answer, no. The only thing that may be discussed is climate change in a science class.

Minority group causes? You mean the Civil Rights Movement? If so, then yes that is taught in the appropriate class.

As a side note, pretty sure you don’t understand what CRT or DEI actually is.

 

Its sort of rich that we've spent decades nuking the humanities as a subject from kindergarten to college saying its worthless at best and indoctrination at worst, and then are shocked at the rampant ignorance it might produce

 

The contingent who wants historical atrocities wiped from the history books is flabbergasted that youngsters are ignorant when it comes to historical atrocities. Shocker!

 

I do. Regrettably.

 

I agree about free speech to an extent... Unless it becomes viewed as threatening.

However, This is pretty rich from the crowd that tosses "hate" accusations around everytime someone steps one inch outside of the pRogReSsIvE lane. I bet they dont like how it feels coming back to them.

People defend this yet are outraged by the "hate" of someone saying you are the gender you were born with, or you should be allowed to bake the cake you want.

Political hypocrisy has become humorous to me.

 

I guess it’s just a matter of perspective. To me, it’s clear that the “hate” accusation does not come mainly from the left here. And it’s not even close

 

So the US is teeming with young right wingers ?

BTW, Hitler was of the left.

 

The president’s are all a product of lawyers, HR and risk management. You don’t comment on things

 

Although the Nazi party called itself socialist the economy under Hitler can most accurately be described as crony capitalism. Hitler was by no means on the left.

Getting back to the subject of this thread the survey is indicative of the poor teaching of history in US schools combined with the sad fact that so many Americans (and not just young people) rely on social media for their "news". They read posts or watch videos on sites like Tik Tok, X formerly called Twitter, Facebook (although its audience seems to be skewed more towards boomers and Gen X than Millennials and Gen Z) and Instagram and think what they're seeing/reading is factual.

 

National SOCIALIST Worker’s Party was probably a typo. But it would have cost too damned much money to reprint all those flyers.

 

It's obvious the left's definition of hate speech is not the same as the right's.
