Nazi Flag on display - WTH?

[BC Landlord]

I can understand there are some people out there with extreme views, but I cannot fathom how could anyone in right mind fly a Nazi flag today. Flying a flag should be a display of being proud of something what that flag symbolizes. What's going through this guy's mind is a mystery to me. Knowledge of history, definitely not.

I would also blame our education system for things like this. Years ago, they replaced history classes with social studies. It has become more important to teach kids 57+ genders, wokeness and political correctness, than real lessons from history. Kids nowadays don't even know who fought against who in WW2, let alone any background. Before that, WW1 must had happened because "1" comes before "2". That's their knowledge.

Well said.

There are some crazies out there. Its pretty silly but it is likely to never go away. I havent decided if its going to get worse, I’m leaning towards yes.


And well said

When I was in school "social studies" was a thing. We still learned history, and learned about World War 2.

I don't have kids in the school system, but it would be interesting to hear from parents who do and what the kids are learning in social studies.

Curriculums have changed since then. My kid finished high school two years ago, and she was a good student there. However, her lack of history knowledge was appalling to me. My father fought in the WW2 (on allies side), and I took it upon myself to educate my kid on what should have been learned in school.

No need to guess, you can just look it up: https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/curriculum/social-studies

Right! Two world wars (the bloodiest time in human history) and the cold war all packed in probably no longer than a week. Mentioning something is not the same as studying. But I bet you, when it comes to ideological stuff, they are far more studious. If you don't believe me, just ask any kid out of high school, what they've learned about it. Sad!

Sometimes people do these kinds of things precisely to see who reacts like this.

WW2 is the one were they are running around a tropical jungle with the cool soundtrack right? :200

Yeah, ... and poor Japanese got nuked by mean capitalists and white supremacists. Evil!

[BC Landlord]

If I may suggest, do your kids a favor, and have them watch this documentary series on Netflix. In a few hours they will learn far more than anything in school on this matter, and better yet, understand how it happened.

If they are flying those 2 flags im pretty sure they know exactly what they are doing.

"Tiki torches, Trump flags, no masks: anti-lockdown protesters march in downtown Calgary"

Sorry, but none of that compares to what Nazis stood for.

Some idiot in rural Alberta is hanging a Confederate and Nazi flag because he wants a reaction. What this has to do with a social studies curriculum, I do not know.

That was sort of my thought too. I doubt thats a high school students compound.
