D.C. Public Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson responded to the controversy late Wednesday on Twitter, saying no curriculum intended to make the comparison “in any way” and that the district and unidentified teacher are “deeply apologetic” about the matter. Henderson said the teacher has been ordered to apologize to the class.
“No DCPS curriculum says 2 make these comparisons in any way,” Henderson wrote. “Teacher used poor judgment & will apologize.”
Marc Thiessen, who worked for years as Bush’s speechwriter, said the teacher should be terminated immediately.
“A person who can’t tell the difference between George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler shouldn’t be teaching children,” Thiessen told FoxNews.com. “This isn’t even political bias, this is utter incompetence.”

Say, "Compare or Contrast", and you're safe. Otherwise, you are incompetent to teach.
Period.
And she's still teaching?
This is 608, and I guess I am wrong, as the teach did propose that up front. So now, the dilemma; there were reading materials suggested, but never guided, which in my book makes students have to dig up their own research and then come up with their own comparisons and contrasts. The teach was making them do their own research and come up with their own conclusions. With the internet, WIKIpedia, and cliff notes, Kids can and need to do their own research and form their own opinions.
The school must be scared of that, as it doesn't follow the Democratic Agenda.
Crime of the Century? REALLY?
Too bad she didn't compare Obama and Marx. Her head would be on a stake in front of the White House.
Actually Adolf H. and Barack Q'b.are joined at the hip!
fire his ASS.
Isn't this something the Secret Service should be investigating?
608 again.
I cannot see a problem here! I'm shocked that there is opposition to this exercise! What are you people thinking" How the heck do you expect out future generations to tell whether they have a Bush or a Hitler unless you make them do their own homework?
I'm confued.
608 again
hush for God's sake
6:08- compare and contrast our current leader BHO with Hitler- fine. But to pull George W. Bush out of history's files smacks of an agenda.
If your children are in public school: there's an agenda!!
Get a clue.
I'm with 6:50 and 1:45 - our current POSOTUS is the socialist...wouldn't be much contrast.
I have relatives that lived through the 30's in Germany - they tell stories that compare to the current 'regime' here.....
She should have been fired. How many other things has she done that no one reported her for.
The question was too easy. Compare Hitler with Stalin.
