This is ... stunning, IMO. The story used to explain why a recording of a Hitler speech was broadcast at this high school football game was lame. So many questions abound: So you have a German exchange student, and a new slogan. Was there no way to get a recording of the slogan in German other than with a recording of the most hated man of the 20th Century? Where did these folks get a CD with a Hitler speech on it? I find it hard to believe that these folks weren't able to edit a file from the CD also, but that's beside the point, I think.
Then, of course, you wander into the even more mundane -- as in why are we still, in this day and age, having kids who appear to have been brough up to use racial slurs? Are we not able to agree that they are wrong? I have to wonder why this might be...
I'm not really sure whether this subject relates to religion as such, but it does stimulate the old thinking cap, certainly.

There have been quite a few entries that have little or nothing to do with religion. I agree, this is one of the most obscure and irrevelant ones - to religious issues at least. In a way though, everything is religious, or spiritual, in the broadest sense. But this one's a stretch. Interesting though.

Well, considering how Hitler constantly gets batted back and forth between Christians and atheists, I think there's a little connection there. But I think it's cool for Nancy to provide us a breather from the usual fare to give us all something to chew on.

Since the ostensible targets of the youth who snuck in the CD were not Jews (this time), I guess the issue is tangential to religion, eh? As would be any ethical issue not directly involving religious denominations, perhaps? It was not Hitler, by the way, but Goebbels on the CD, I read. Not that that makes it any nicer.
