OMG, this is just as bad!

Seven of White’s staff members stayed with the guide, who soon was showing them an exhibit on the Warsaw Ghetto. As she explained the walling in of Polish Jews, one aide asked whether it was similar to “a gated community.”

I like him even less now.

It is the central evil wound of the 20th Century, radiating outward in all directions and echoing down the years.

What are they teaching about the US Civil Rights movement and which "white people" were involved as early allies? Schwerner, Cheney, and Goodman? Two of those young men were Jews.

I find this man's ignorance beyond appalling -- and his staff, too.

Clearly this man is unfit for office.

on "the test" it will be taught. That is all they have time for! And don't forget, as each year passes there's 1 more year of "history" to be taught - and that needs to be done in the same 12 years of schooling. My son graduated in 2001 and they never got into WW2.

So, what does he know about:
Marshall Plan
atomic bomb
civil rights movement
Martin Luther King
JFK
Viet Nam war
Peace movement
Richard Nixon
Watergate (why does every "scandal" have a "gate" after it?)
etc., etc., etc.

IIRC we didn't even make it to WWI.

Each year grades 1-12 we started with Mayflower and pilgrims. Each year little bit more info about various periods covered.

Son HS grad 1986. Don't remember re WWII history but was shocked that there was v little in his texts about labor history or about all the laws protecting the public passed at the beginning of the 20th century.

questions he will not be able answer himself. He'll go back alone. He'll learn.

Sometime people are just bigots.

I remember my first exposure to the Holocaust. I was overwhelmed by it. I couldn't imagine it if I hadn't seen the evidence. I know what a shock was for me to have my carefully crafted world view powdered. I had thought of World War II as a plot device for movies and TV. This guy had some serious shocks in his half hour of reality.

If he'd stayed the entire 90 minutes I'd be less sure of an attitude adjustment.

He'll be back and he'll make a press conference about it.

I think he's smart enough to realize his world view was flawed.

That's not just a flaw.

Look, people change and a lot of us believe things we'd be a little reticent about admitting here on DU. My dad believed that professional wrestling was real. You choose believe this guy is irredeemable and I believe he can be redeemed. I've seen it.

I think if he's smart enough to run for office in DC, he must have figured out when the press showed up regarding his slander that he was in trouble. I think he got a big surprise at the Museum. I think he got shook. That the truth is undeniable. He was shocked by the difference in what he knew before he showed up and what he knew within one half hour after he arrived.

You may of course disagree.

Peace.

He was spreading hate with the conspiracy shit.

It’s weird how fast he changed his mind after being sued.

Just let me know when he drops dead. I’ll watch that clip.

his obvious discomfort over having to do damage control vs having his followers turn on him.

This person is irredeemably stupid and should not be in government.

just started here: "This person is irredeemably stupid and should not be in government."

You're talking about Trump, aren't you?

Double damn.

Damn.

Wow.

The mind wobbles.

in the mouth and leave it at that.

I was willing to cut him break when the story first came to light, then more info came out, and I found myself giving him less of a break; now this....he is a fucking bigot. I will quote J.K. Rowling:

'Would response to any other form of racism or bigotry be to squirm, deflect or justify?'

A couple of elderly Jewish weather-controllers constantly arguing about what kind of day it is.

(this has to be one of the best conspiracy theories ever)

And, of course, just kidding. I know my local weather announcer controls the weather.

The man is a moron and needs to find a new job.
