    While you are correct… there’s a very big difference in the creationism/evolution debate than what Florida schools and the Nazis both did.

    That difference is that they both taught propaganda as facts; including with telling students who to hate. (In fact, the target of hate was broadly the same. Sure the Nazis were hating on Jews a lot, but they also hated on LGBTQ, blacks, and incidentally, Christian’s.)

    That said, one key difference between creationism and evolution is that we actually have evidence demonstrating how evolution might work. We have no evidence of a mythical sky daddy; and in any case, if a god did indeed create everything, then it stands to reason that god created everything, and there’s a reason for it that evidence I mentioned.

    It’s okay for you to believe whatever you want. It’s not okay for you to insist kids writ large ignore science because it conflicts with your particular belief.

        Yup. It was no where near the level of hatred they had for Jews, but many of the major denominations were… removed or pulled out voluntarily.

        Catholics, the major Protestants. JWs. Iirc LDS was permitted to stay but also left.

        Keep in mind, it was a totalitarian state… anyone who tried to resist or rebel against it was punished- including people organized around a church.
