After facing online scrutiny, the Tennessee Federation of Republican Women has taken steps to remove a reading list for children from its website that referenced Adolf Hitler as an example of leadership.

“Hitler and all intelligent leaders throughout history have understood that the way to change a country was through the training of its youth, to get them while they are young,” the organization’s reading list said.

On its website, the organization has a photograph of the Israeli flag and touts its support for the country.

    I would just like to point out that the Tennessee Federation of Republican Women posted an online statement stating “Hitler and all intelligent leaders throughout history have understood that the way to change a country was through the training of its youth, to get them while they are young.”

    It seems like the sort of thing that should be in text as well as screenshots just so we can help out any future web crawlers coming through these parts.

        I think it’s important to note that Tennessee Federation of Republican Women posted the statement "Hitler and all intelligent leaders throughout history have understood that the way to change a country was through the training of its youth, to get them while they are young.” in March 2024.
