Summary
- (CNN) An Indiana lawmaker is apologizing for saying teachers should exercise impartiality when teaching about Nazism or fascism.
- His remarks came after a concerned history teacher said he was teaching Nazism in his history class, and that when teaching the subject he does not remain neutral.
- “We’re learning about the rise of fascism and the rise of Nazism right now and I’m just not neutral on the political ideology of fascism.
- That is why we learn to use history to make a better world,” the teacher said.
- Baldwin, a Republican first elected to state office in 2020, responded that he was not “discrediting any of those ‘isms’ out there.”
