Public School 'History' Lesson Compares Trump to Soviets, Nazis
 [TOWNHALL] Taxpayers in Maryland are funding anti-Trump history lessons that compare the president to the Soviets and Nazis. An unidentified teacher(s) inserted the propaganda into a slide show used in an advanced placement history class at Loch Raven High School in the city of Towson, according to the News Agency that Dare Not be Named. A slide depicts President Trump above pictures of the Soviet Union flag and the Nazi Swastika. The slide captions read, "wants to round up a group of people and build a giant wall" and "oh, THAT is why it sounds so familiar!." Baltimore County Councilman Wade Kach called it "a piece of propaganda" that didn’t belong in a classroom. The school system said the slide was not part of the resources it provides for AP history teachers. Charles Herndon, a front man for Baltimore County schools, said students in advanced high school classes are "discerning, intelligent students who are going to be able to draw their own inferences and draw their own conclusions." "The topics being discussed in the class included World Wars and the attempts by some leaders throughout history to limit or prevent migration into certain countries. In isolation and out of context with the lesson, the image could be misunderstood," the school district said in a statement. The school system said the issue had become a personnel matter "which will be appropriately addressed by the school administration and is not subject to further clarification."
