Any recommendations would be great for a small lesson on the american gestapo for a classroom setting

    I wouldn’t say don’t, but be careful if you want to keep your job. I suggest making it inferred and not direct. Example. The day after the election I showed Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot. The one with the footage of the plane hitting the World Trade Center. It was VERY on the nose and a few students complained in my evals, but I got away with it because we were starting Universal Gravitation and I showed The Drake Equation first. It was very much a “while we are talking about Carl Sagan…”. There was enough context and plausible deniability you’d have a hard time going after me. And I’m glad I did. A lot of students needed to hear it. Here are the two videos so you can see what I’m talking about:

        Oh I see. I think the more perfect unions channel will probably have a video for you that will have what you want, but I don’t know any at the top of my head.

        I think if you could show a Hakim video, that would probably be best, but good luck getting that approved in schools.
