Certainly a bizarre institution with strong roots in the Progressive movement. The Nazi's seized The Odenwaldschule in the 1930's but it is difficult to find out much more beyond that fact during the WWII years.
This is just grand! You mention "Progressive" and "Nazi" in the same breath. A classic Reductio ad Hitlerum
Founded in 1910 by educational reformer Paul Geheeb, the Odenwaldschule was a crown jewel of the progressive education movement, renowned for its emancipatory pedagogical innovations and sweeping curricular reforms. In the tumultuous year that followed that fateful spring, Geheeb moved from an initial effort to accommodate Nazi reforms to an active opposition to the Third Reich's transformation of the school. Convinced at last that humanistic education was all but impossible under the new regime, he emigrated to Switzerland in March 1934. There he opened a new school, the Ecole d'Humanite, which became a haven for children escaping the horrors of World War II.

This particular case has everything to do with political ideology. And there is nothing you guys can do or say to cover that up.
The idea started with the liberal question "Why not break traditional sexual roles?".
the Rote Freiheit ("Red Freedom") after-school center was unorthodox. The goal of the center was to shape the students into "socialist personalities," and its educational mission went well beyond supervised play. The center's agenda included "agitprop" on the situation in Vietnam and "street fighting," in which the children were divided into "students" and "cops."
The educators' notes indicate that they placed a very strong emphasis on sex education. Almost every day, the students played games that involved taking off their clothes, reading porno magazines together and pantomiming intercourse.
In 1979, the now-defunct Dutch Pacifist Socialist Party supported an unsuccessful petition to lower the age of consent to 12
The modern Communist Party of Great Britain lists abolition of age-of-consent laws among its immediate demands, with the added provision that there be alternate legal methods to protect children from sexual abuse.[18]
A political party with a paedophile agenda has been registered in The Netherlands, prompting outrage among many parts of society. The party plans to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations to 12 from 16 and for legalisation of child pornography and sex with animals.
The party says its aim is to break taboos and fight intolerance. Its members say they want paedophilia to be freely discussed, arguing that a ban just makes children curious.

Really, guys? Opposing a bill intended to let rape victims get prosecution? That's truly a new low for the Republican party.

It's hilarious how the very word "liberal" once meant tolerance and open-mindedness, yet an abundance of people who call themselves "liberals" viciously and relentlessly attack anyone who disagrees with them. They take great offense at the slightest reference to anything and everything that runs contrary to their belief system. They then proceed to mock their enemies (anyone and everyone who dares disagree with them) with their infantile, condescending jabs. They fancy themselves "intellectuals" because they read a couple wiki articles.
The silly attacks on the OP have outed these phony liberals. The OP has clearly stated his reasoning for his comments no less than 4 times, but the attacks continue.
Listen up "liberals"....Everyone has a right to their opinion, and it may differ from yours. It may run totally contrary to yours. It may even offend you. Grow the hell up and deal with it like an adult.
(I'm not a conservative, by the way. I pretty much despise politics in general)

Not at all. The school is liberal/leftist. The Kommune mentioned was socialist/leftist. The perpetrators were Green, Left, Liberal and Socialist. The philosophies were based on liberal "sexual liberation". Anti-Vietnam, Anti-Capitalism, Anti-Corportatism, Sex-Lib, Womens-Lib...its all liberalism. See also my last post.
Its very important that the facts not be obscured again, like they have in past mass-rape incidents involving leftists.

It was all over the [url=http://www.indiewire.com/article/over_100_in_film_community_sign_polanski_petition/#]News[/url some time ago. Or am I to believe that its only a coincidence that not a single conservative signed the petition or called for Polanskis freedom?
The guy is a repeat child-sex offender and the international left is still campaigning for him. Like you calling me a Nazi, they call the judical system "Nazi".
Any other parts of the OP you think are inaccurate?
I got the story from a liberal mag, btw.
