Yes, if the wording WAS different, it could be a great exercise. <br /><br />How DID Hitler get an entire country to look the other way as trains filled with people go to camps and come back empty and no one did a thing...or said a thing. Everyone in Germany could not have been a bad person, yet with evil afoot, he gets an army and country to do unspeakable things. HOW?<br /><br />This is something no one EVER teaches or discusses in high school and to get kids thinking - yes, thinking - and not just spewing facts for a test, is a learning experience. <br /><br />It it not necessarily teaching hate or insensitivity. It is teaching thought. <br /><br />The teacher seems to have potentially phrased the assignment incorrectly - not that I'm discounting there are just haters out there, but I am guessing this is not the case.
