I don't think that's a good argument. The Nazis took over education, yes. What this meant then was firing teachers who spoke out against the Nazi Party, eventually only allowing Nazi teachers to teach, creating special Hitler youth programs, et cetera... this is again absolutely nothing like anything that is happening in American education. You are drawing parallels that don't exist. Not making the huge logical leaps you have to make to draw these parallels is not "worshiping the state," it's just being rational.
Also, if you take the attitude that everyone who disagrees with you is an idiot and a moron, you're putting yourself at a disadvantage, because sometimes other people's opinions can be valuable.
Oh, isn't it?

Speak against something those in control want, and you are demonized, and can lose your job. Same thing happens with teachers that express their Christian views in other ways as well.
Then we have the fact that the current administration created Homeland Security documents calling any and all that would disagree with him "potential terrorists".
But, you can't see any parallels. Unreal......
What? You're using examples of how different local school systems acted against their teachers when the teachers posted hate speech online to draw parallels to a state where teachers were forced to conform to a hateful ideology lest they be fired? Are you kidding me? You are trying very hard to see parallels that don't exist here.
As for those expressing "Christian views," they shouldn't be expressing them publicly in schools as employees of the schools. Separation of church and state.

I was under the impression that he also happens to be one of the most unpopular presidents of all time. He's being accused of ruining the US, and he's far from bringing the world into a golden age. Besides, he's not even from the Middle East, which is one of the supposedly prophesied requirements.

To say that USA is moving towards Nazi Germany because of secular public education is just idiocracy.

You forgot about healthcare takeover, the persecution of religion that is currently taking hold, and the discussions regarding banning the purchase of certain types of weapons.
Hitler was able to commit such atrocities in part because by the time his true agenda was revealed, the people were too dependent on him and the government. They were brainwashed to believe his way was the right way and that the world would be better off if everyone followed his model

Gun Politics In Germany
History clearly records the Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons being put into place after the 1938 Weapons Act. Hitler not only tightened restrictions on firearm possession for the 'loyal' citizens, but had his MI, Wilhelm Frick, deprive Jews of the right to own or possess firearms and bladed weapons.
You should be 100% on your factual history before you tear down others. =)

the result of the Weimer Republic laws was the establishment of a gun REGISTRY and that's why a registry is simply UnConstitutional in the USA.
Hitler used the established registry to enable his goal of mass disarmament.

The Nazis believed that a woman's body beloned to the State, and the State would decide what to do with it. The Nazis did not allow abortion for healthy "Aryan" German women, but demanded and forced abortion upon women deemed "unAryan" (i.e. Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, etc.) and "Aryan" German women who were thought to be feeble-minded, or have hereditary diseases. (Abortion in the New Europe, p.114)

The first court to rule that "viability" and the "woman's health" were determinate factors in abortion was the Nazi Heredity Court of 1934, when it ruled that "... (Aryan) pregnancy may be terminated, with the concent of the woman concerned, uless the foetus is already capable of independent life, or unless the termination of the pregnancy entails a serious danger to either the life or health of the woman herself." (The Racial State, 1991, p.141).

you can repeat this nonsense til infinity, it doesn't change the truth.
the gun registry was used to confiscate and prevent future ownership of any firearms by whomever the govt deemed a threat.
that is a fact.
yes, the Hitler youth (soldier prep) became a mandate, what's your point?
all the changes you mentioned were only extended to those selected or chosen by the regime ...it was not extended to everyone.
no, they aren't and weren't.
undocumented aliens in the US have far more privilege, exercise of natural rights and property ownership than the Jews had removed while in Germany.
Restrictions imposed by the treaty of Versailles In 1919 and 1920, to stabilize the country and in part to comply with the Treaty of Versailles, the German Weimar government passed very strict gun ownership restrictions. Article 169 of the Treaty of Versailles stated, "Within two months from the coming into force of the present Treaty, German arms, munitions, and war material, including anti-aircraft material, existing in Germany in excess of the quantities allowed, must be surrendered to the Governments of the Principal Allied and Associated Powers to be destroyed or rendered useless."[1] In 1919, the German government passed the Regulations on Weapons Ownership, which declared that "all firearms, as well as all kinds of firearms ammunition, are to be surrendered immediately."[2] Under the regulations, anyone found in possession of a firearm or ammunition was subject to five years' imprisonment and a fine of 100,000 marks. On August 7, 1920, the German government enacted a second gun-regulation law called the Law on the Disarmament of the People. It put into effect the provisions of the Versailles Treaty in regard to the limit on military-type weapons. In 1928, the German government enacted the Law on Firearms and Ammunition. This law relaxed gun restrictions and put into effect a strict firearm licensing scheme. Under this scheme, Germans could possess firearms, but they were required to have separate permits to do the following: own or sell firearms, carry firearms (including handguns), manufacture firearms, and professionally deal in firearms and ammunition. This law explicitly revoked the 1919 Regulations on Weapons Ownership, which had banned all firearms possession. Stephen Halbrook writes about the German gun restriction laws in the 1919-1928 period, "Within a decade, Germany had gone from a brutal firearms seizure policy which, in times of unrest, entailed selective yet immediate execution for mere possession of a firearm, to a modern, comprehensive gun control law."[3]
The 1938 German Weapons Act The 1938 German Weapons Act, the precursor of the current weapons law, superseded the 1928 law. As under the 1928 law, citizens were required to have a permit to carry a firearm and a separate permit to acquire a firearm. Furthermore, the law restricted ownership of firearms to "...persons whose trustworthiness is not in question and who can show a need for a (gun) permit." Under the new law: Gun restriction laws applied only to handguns, not to long guns or ammunition. Writes Prof. Bernard Harcourt of the University of Chicago, "The 1938 revisions completely deregulated the acquisition and transfer of rifles and shotguns, as well as ammunition."[4] The groups of people who were exempt from the acquisition permit requirement expanded. Holders of annual hunting permits, government workers, and NSDAP party members were no longer subject to gun ownership restrictions. Prior to the 1938 law, only officials of the central government, the states, and employees of the German Reichsbahn Railways were exempted.[5] The age at which persons could own guns was lowered from 20 to 18.[5] The firearms carry permit was valid for three years instead of one year.[5] Jews were forbidden from the manufacturing or ownership of firearms and ammunition.[6] Under both the 1928 and 1938 acts, gun manufacturers and dealers were required to maintain records with information about who purchased guns and the guns' serial numbers. These records were to be delivered to a police authority for inspection at the end of each year. On November 11, 1938, the Minister of the Interior, Wilhelm Frick, passed Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons. This regulation effectively deprived all Jews of the right to possess firearms or other weapons.[7]
really ???
Your truth will never be FACT
As under the 1928 law, citizens were required to have a permit to carry a firearm and a separate permit to acquire a firearm
sad for you that you've not studied more than one side of the issue.
usa-the-republic.com...
As a result of the 1928 Law, all firearms and firearms owners were registered. To take firearms from anyone they distrusted, the Nazis simply did not renew permits. Under the law, their privately created law, the Nazis could now easily confiscate all firearms and ammunition from any, or all, selected groups. The gun law of 1928 had served the Nazis well. It made almost all law abiding firearms owners known to the authorities. The 1928 law on firearms and ammunition helped the Nazis to destroy democracy in Germany, by disarming the law abiding majority, whom they feared.
By the end of 1931, a rising tide of violence, mainly between Nazi and Communist street fighters, moved the authorities to tighten restrictions. Under new regulations, the police could order everyone's firearms and ammunition ... even items not normally used as weapons ... to be put into police custody,
"If the maintenance of public security and order require it."

now, you can pretend that it didn't happen.
or you can infer that it has been misrepresented but eugenics by any other name is still genocide.

now you're being silly and foolish all at once.
Abortion was legalized in 1920. in 1933 the first thing the nazis did was reinstate the punishments (and later increase them) (Of course only for the portions of the population they wanted to "protect" - Maybe you didn't know this: The Nazis were racists)
now, you say it's been legal since 1920 ... so, which is it ?
Doctors performing abortions in Nazi-germany where facing the death penalty
your choice to ignore it is your own.

Hitler joined the party the year it was founded (1919) and became its leader in 1921.
In 1933, he became chancellor of Germany and his Nazi government soon assumed dictatorial powers.
for anyone to think his influence, policies, beliefs, ideals or desires were absent in Germany, until 1933, would represent one of the greatest brain-washings of all time.

Mein Kampf (1926)
In 1923 Adolf Hitler was arrested for attempting to overthrow the government in Munich. His National Socialist German Workers' Party (the Nazi party) was still relatively small, and he used his trial to attract national attention. In due course he was convicted and sentenced to prison; while there he wrote Mein Kampf (My Struggle), outlining his political ideas. Mein Kampf was not taken seriously at first, but it includes many of the ideas the Nazis put in practice in the 1930s and 1940s
