When confronted about his teaching methods, Navarro said he told the principal that everything he said in class was based on facts.

He said that going by how the complaint was described to him, the parent said Navarro told his students that Trump is Hitler.

“I never said that. That would be historical sloppy thinking,” Navarro said. “What I’ve been teaching is there are remarkable parallels between Hitler and Donald Trump.”

I think parallels is the same thing, though.

I'd say a Holocaust scholar has every right to draw parallels between past events and current events. Isn't that the main point of history education anyways?

I agree there are allusions to Hitler but then you could say the same for any male leader that acquired power through fear but fundamentally they've two completely different ideologies. It's an unfair comparison really considering how different the socio-economics are of todays world and Trump has only just become 'a leader'. Trump also has limitations and an overseeing eye which Hitler did not. 

As for the OP, well considering the teacher has basically inferred the POTUS is parallel to Hitler I'm not surprised he has been suspended :oprah:

So, maybe the comparison will lead to us thinking that Trump is nowhere near Hitler? Trump used the fear in Americans as a political tactic to an extent we haven't seen in modern history. We shouldn't be able to let him slide by without some critical analyzing. How come little Trumpsters are only anti-PC when it benefits them and their hateful ideology?

 The fact is this guy is a Holocaust scholar, I think he is inclined to educate his students on the matter using a comparison which is commonly brought up by millennials. The truth is a little Trumpster was pressed and reported him.

The truth is that this comparison makes no sense. Trump is way more like other dictators than Hitler. Trump never will become like Hitler and USA is nowhere like Germany during the 30's

And it is often said about such leaders, they are also compared to Mussolini. Trump has been compared to him too.

The main difference between Trump and Hitler is that Hitler talked about genocide before he was elected. Trump never called for one.

There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.

Haha true, they should even know how inaccurate that comparison is

I really thought liberal people would learn not to cry wolf after Trump was elected. What if someone ACTUALLY like hitler comes along in the US?! No one is going to believe us when we NEED to make that comparison!

Did he declare himself to an dictator? :oprah:

Is he invading his neighboring countries? :oprah:

Did Trump call for a genocide? :oprah:
