    THANK YOU for this important post! Emerging America has partnered for years with the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives on a graduate course for teachers on America and World Fascism: From the Spanish Civil War to Nuremberg and Beyond. Teachers are hungry for help in dealing with this level of difficult material. (We offer it only in Massachusetts only, I'm afraid.)

    Massachusetts just added Eugenics to state standards. Emerging America created a primary source set featuring Chronicling America and other sources from the Library of Congress. 

    Teaching Tolerance has many great resourceshttps://www.tolerance.org/

    Facing History too is excellent. https://www.facinghistory.org/

    The primary source set on eugenics is amazing! Thanks to both    Margaret Lincoln  and   Rich Cairn  for starting and continuing this vital discussion on antisemitism, fascism, and more - ugly as it is to consider.

    Thank you for pointing out these valuable materials,   Rich Cairn . I also wanted to mention “Experiencing History: Holocaust Sources in Context” from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. This online primary source tool is geared for students and faculty at the college and university level but also appropriate for the secondary level. Users study contextualized primary sources on the Holocaust and create customized learning experiences. Diaries, letters, testimonies, art, still and moving images, have been carefully selected and introduced by Holocaust scholars from a variety of disciplines.

    Here's a real-life 2020 story of a Connecticut school district's response to paintings of swastikas and a Star of David in the middle school's hallways last fall and later another swastika in the high school. The school superintendent organized a community meeting with town leaders and stakeholders and brought in people from the Anti-Defamation League to conduct anti-bullying activities.
