“Maus” should be required reading in American schools.
Either Ali Veshi or someone on the Maddow Blog staff should have their high school diploma revoked.
THIS is why books like “Maus” belong in American classrooms.
I would fire the author of that tweet INSTANTLY for their insistence that if a person is Jewish, they can’t be a “real” German, or a “real” American, or a “real” citizen of a nation. (There is some debate in the comments over the culpability of the staffer who unquestioningly repeated this nonsense)
The slur that Jewish people are “rootless” or “stateless” is ancient and has no place in civil society.
Here is Trump spokesman Sean Spicer repeating the slur that German Jews weren’t “real” Germans.
The slur that Jews are “rootless” or “stateless” has no place in any society that espouses the values of the Enlightenment.
In Sean Spicer’s mind, the fact that the men, women, and children gassed to death with chemical weapons were Jewish made them “not fellow Germans”
I regularly hear that slur repeated about Jews and Muslims in America today.
