Title: Ignorance of history

Headline:  "Professor on Hitler video parody controversy: 'I was crushed'"

"The UMass Amherst professor who was puffed froma teaching an accounting class last month after a student parody video involving Adolf Hilter was shown in the class..."

"...video included the dialogue: '...or I'll send you to a chamber, and it won't be the chamber of commerce.  I can guarantee that.'  Nazis used gas chambers to kill millions of Jewish people during World War II" (Italics mine)

Never mind snowflake(s) being offended by the parody, but the Danny McDonald (guy who wrote the article) had to add "Nazis used gas chambers to kill millions of Jewish people during World War II"?   Are people really that ignorant?  Now I wonder if Danny McDonald didn't know that millions of Jews died in gas chambers...

There have been tons of parodies of that clip. They're funny!  I can't believe she was fired for that.

And yes, Lord help us if anyone needs to have "chamber" explained to them! Aren't they teaching WWII to kids anymore?
