So, I consider myself something of a history buff and often discuss history with both of my boys who show a similar passion and can hold their own in a discussion on the subject.
Yesterday my 12 year old comes home and tells me he had an interesting conversation with a "not be named adult" at the school yesterday while having a group discussion on racism. The "not be named adult" proceeded to tell the group of boys Hitler was a great leader and good for his country until be got mixed in with the racist at the end of WWII.
Needless to say I was a little floored and asked him if he was sure the"not to be named adult" said Hitler and not Hillary or someone else. He said nope, Hilter and proceeded to tell the "not to be named" adult that was stupid and Hitler was a Nazi from the get go.
So, my question is did I miss something in regards to Hitler's being a great leader? The only thing I can think of is rallying his people behind a cause. Any other thoughts?
Also, would I be out of line send the said "not to be named adult" a copy of good WWII History Book and a copy of Mein Kempf with a note saying there is not greatness with this guy.
