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 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.
