Is that really what you’re teaching your daughter to do when she’s demeaned and attacked? To keep quiet, don’t bring it up and pretend nothing happened to keep the peace? To treat her bullies and oppressors the same way she treats those who love her and accept her for who she is?
Well, not me. Whenever I see antisemitism I don’t just keep quiet, roll over and not make waves. I speak up and I make it very clear that it’s something that shouldn’t be tolerated and swept under the rug to “keep te peace”. Sometimes in order to keep the peace, you have to stand up and challenge those who think it’s OK to demean others. And that’s what this quote means. I can’t believe you don’t see it when this is exactly what you should be teaching her to do.

No. “ fast forward to today” means what is going on today, not Jan 6th. As In the world war we’re about to jump into.
Jan 6th occurred because of its own reasoning, and from what I know not really anything at all to do with Nazis.
Two totally different circumstances, but both ones in which the gung-ho believers caused much more shit than they solved.
We might not want to fan either of their flames right now.
The holocaust should absolutely be taught, but quotes without reference are often taken the wrong way.
