AlterNet excerpt:
All over the United States, Republicans in state governments have been going after schoolteachers whose classes don’t conform to their views on race or history. One such Republican is Indiana State Sen. Scott Baldwin, who is co-sponsoring a bill that, if passed, would ban teachers in his state from promoting “divisive concepts” in classrooms — and he is drawing scrutiny after saying that teachers should show impartiality when teaching about the history of fascism and Naziism. 
Baldwin promoted his bill during a January 5 hearing. According to Washington Post reporter Jaclyn Peiser, Baldwin said, “Marxism, Nazism, fascism.… I have no problem with the education system providing instruction on the existence of those ‘isms. I believe that we’ve gone too far when we take a position.… We need to be impartial.”

Yup, 'impartiality' is a must.  Heaven forbid we have an opinion about Nazi atrocities.
