GLSEN and the Hitler Youth

By Judith Reisman

H.R. 1388, “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act” (GIVE), was approved by the House, and is on the fast track to the Senate and President Obama.

Outrage over the GIVE religious and political restrictions appear to have yielded a strategic withdrawal, allowing recruits to attend church and think independent thought privately.

“The purpose of the bill is to require mandatory community service for all young people in the United States,” Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, told WND in a telephone interview.

“The mobilization of the youth to put them into community work environments that are specified in the bill raises questions about who will be teaching the youth and what is deemed appropriate community service,” he said.

Old-timers naturally recall Communist, Fascist and Nazi youth brigades as severing children from their parent’s religious traditions and beliefs.

Such American classroom indoctrination is now found in “hate” and sexual diversity training and in 3,500 nationwide Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN) school clubs. Under color of a “Safe Schools Movement” battling alleged “bullying” of so-called “gay” children (K-12), some see GLSEN as a modern version of the Hitler Youth and as preparing the ground for a larger, sweeping, schoolroom Youth Brigade.

The similarities between Hitler’s National Socialist Teachers Association (NSTA) and the Rockefeller and Playboy funded National Education Association (NEA) and American Library Association (ALA) troubles some World War II elders. Like Hitler’s NSTA, our NEA also largely guides the “ideological indoctrination of teachers.” (Ronald J. Berger “Fathoming the Holocaust,” Aldine Transaction, 2002, p. 50) Moreover, NSTA, the NEA, GLSEN and the Hitler Youth all seek to sever schoolchildren from their parent’s religious and sexual training.


Both the GLSEN youth and the Hitler Youth were trained to be revolutionary leaders of the brave new world order. GLSEN school clubs and their teacher sponsor/trainers are now funded by major corporations and by some state funds. GLESN’s Day of Silence and “GAY ALLY!” pledge cards for kindergartners and other children (left) are direct assaults on traditional parental, American values.

German children’s literature historians document Hitler’s pioneering ban of both the Ten Commandments and biblical stories from Nazi school texts in favor of coarse and violent tales that ridiculed religious believers and their values. Without his NSTA teachers, Hitler could not have created a goose-stepping, unthinking army.

Maria Augusta Trapp, in “The Story of the Trapp Family Singers,” described how the Nazis de-Christianized their schools and trained students to scorn their parents values.

The children came home from school saying that this or that old teacher wasn’t there anymore, new teachers, even a new principal taking their places. … This morning we were told at the assembly that our parents are nice, old-fashioned people who don’t understand the new Party. We should leave them alone and not bother. We are the hope of the nation, the hope of the whole world. We should never mention at home what we learn at school now.

The teacher said Jesus was only a naughty Jewish boy Who ran away from his parents. That’s all. … In school we are not permitted to sing any religious songs with the name of Christ or Christmas. We can hardly sing any Bach for that reason.

Christa Kamenetsky (1984) wrote in “Children’s Literature in Hitler’s Germany: The Cultural Policy of National Socialism,” of Hitler’s teacher-led purge of books. In reading the following, consider the current purge of books in schools and libraries that celebrate American history, values and sexual restraint, and the increasing availability instead of gender “neutral,” pornographic, GLESN party-line materials:

In order to achieve a total control over the minds of children, the Nazis … engaged thousands of censors, drafted mainly from the members of the National Socialist Teachers Association and the Reich Youth Leadership Organization, who would systematically screen every book that was published, sold, loaned, purchased, circulated, or discussed. Through school reforms and a reorganization of libraries throughout the nation, they further institutionalized censorship measures that would separate the books they preferred from those that were to be discarded. … They hoped to reach their goal … in the decades to come. … [T]he Nazis made children’s books into the means toward another end that would perpetuate the power of the Third Reich both at the time and in the future.

Any statist Youth Brigade carries within it a dangerous threat, like that of National Socialism when teachers were recruiters. Again, it could be argued that if not for the National Socialist Teachers Association’s seduction of German youth, World War II would have been impossible.

Wrote Kamenetsky:

[When] the German Student Association remove[d] all “un-German” books from the libraries, the public did not feel altered to systems of control that soon would permeate all spheres of German cultural and political life.

The claim it was preventing AIDS and the alleged “bullying” of children labeled “gay,” “trans,” etc., allowed GLESN’s nose under the tent. That pornographers, pedophiles and homosexually radical school superintendents, principals, teachers and librarians have been training schoolchildren to be “politically correct” followers is well-documented.

Writing in WorldNetDaily, Jerome Corsi pointed out that GIVE monies are to be distributed through AmeriCorps, an arm largely of “Democratic Party politicians, including Planned Parenthood. Under terms of the legislation, volunteers recruited into AmeriCorps through the GIVE Act could end up counseling Planned Parenthood clients to recommend and arrange abortions.”

Or, GIVE might launch bullying “prevention” services to further GLESN’s efforts to instill adherence to the new sexuality in America’s schoolrooms.

Rep. Poe voted against the bill, saying, “When you require something of [youngsters] you are certainly not volunteering, and to place them only in government-controlled programs concerns me.”

Indeed. Should GIVE child brigades be commanded by GLESN-type veterans and teachers in schools nationwide, will American parents experience the repetition of German history?
