In it, Walz argues that the lessons of the “Jewish Holocaust” should be taught “in the greater context of human rights abuses,” rather than as a unique historical anomaly or as part of a larger unit on World War II. “To exclude other acts of genocide severely limited students’ ability to synthesize the lessons of the Holocaust and the ability to apply them elsewhere,” he wrote.

What an antisemite, he wants people to learn so such acts of horror never happen again.

Edit: Obviously, I am being sarcastic, I totally agree with Walz.

This was actually a discussion I was in on the Marvel movies of all things. They updated Iron Man's origin by moving it from Vietnam to the Middle East, and the question then became "Well, how do you update Magneto's origin without the Holocaust?" and I was like "There's always another genocide... Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia... pick one."

It wasn't unique, it wasn't a "one off". The unique framing appeals to conservatives as it feeds into exceptionalism and impunity. "We're special!" It's those people who only care about stuff when it happens to them. Same as with abortions and "The only moral abortion is my abortion".

Fundamentally, this is evidence of the failure to generalize learning (what learning is for), a grand failure of intelligence.

They're really reaching for some material, aren't they?

This is HORRIBLE! Look at that ANTISEMITE!

-People who Support Nazis and think anyone who is against Genocide is Antisemitic!

Genocide isn't unique...walz is right

The important thing to me here is that he has a master's degree and it took on tough subject matter with a larger perspective of how humanity needs to learn to no repeat this horrible actions of its past. He just keeps getting more awesome.

Harris/Walz 2024!

It's not even unique to WW2. The Japanese killed somewhere between 3 and 10 million Chinese civilians, burning some of them alive. If that range sounds insane, it's because it is. Some estimates put the number of civiians killed by the Japanese as high as 20 million. Wikipedia.

He is right it wasn’t. Hitler was emulating past settler colonial projects. He was inspired by how the indigenous peoples of North America were reduced to only tens of thousands and forced to live in reservations. It is just that no one cared until it happened in Europe.

That is going to annoy the Turks too.

Another case of the idiot right wing shunning facts or spinning them into non-facts. They can't deal in facts so they must pollute factual information down to their level where they're comfortable with the lie they've created.

Yeah, this one doesn't hold water either... I'm sure he kicked a dog or something at some point. I'm gonna hold out for that one.

Anybody got a master's degree in boys that cry wolf? Hell at this point you'll be called antisemitic for saying you prefer Robertson screwdrivers to Torx.

And back in the real world, he went on to use that critical thinking in classroom assignments, helping students understand actions and attitudes that lead to genocide: Tim Walz’s Class Project on the Holocaust Draws New Attention Online https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/09/us/politics/tim-walz-holocaust-class-rwanda-genocide.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Ck4.FpW4.05czkX9J5r9u

Tldr, in one of his geography classes, Walz taught his class about how violence rises, class voted on what country they thought likely to deal with that kind of violence, like a year later the Rwanda genocide began.
