How and Why the Nazis Went Green
By Mark Musser
Hitler Targets Education Eliminates Religious Instruction for Children:
Our education was nationalized. I attended a very good public school. The population was predominantly Catholic, so we had religion in our schools. The day we elected Hitler (March 13, 1938), I walked into my schoolroom to find the crucifix replaced by Hitler’s picture hanging next to a Nazi flag. Our teacher, a very devout woman, stood up and told the class we wouldn’t pray or have religion anymore. Instead, we sang Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles, and had physical education.
Justin Trottier, national executive director of the Centre for Inquiry, had a column published in Monday’s Ottawa Citizen, arguing for the value of atheists being welcomed as participants in religious debates. ChristianGovernance submitted a column to the Ottawa Citizen in response to Mr. Trottier’s piece. We haven’t heard yet whether it’s been accepted for publication, so we are posting it ourselves.

Nazi Oaks Book Review
By Bruce Walker
It is odd, really more like eerie, how similar many of the fetishes of dead totalitarian systems of the last century are to the curiosities of modern leftism. The Nazi war on tobacco, for example, mirrors modern jihads against smoking, which invariably portray tobacco companies as evil. Mussolini, the leader of Fascism, prided himself on not smoking or drinking, just as Hitler, the leader of Nazism did, who was also a vegetarian. (Winston Churchill, by contrast, drank, smoked, and ate copiously.)
