This documentary some of you may remember from school. It is STILL relevant and timely right now. It's not that long, it's too bad this wasn't still shown in schools today!

I only got through tape one but that is some serious stuff. Teachers need to stick to teaching and not running social experiments. 
I never seen this before.

They weren't teaching it, they were showing the film to show people how easy it is to get caught up in this sort of thing. Kind of as a warning and to show when students asked about how the Nazi's or Mao could come to power and why did people go along with it. The film was made to be a lesson about what NOT to fall for!

Clearly those of today have not seen it if they fell for the Obama hype. This student heeded the warning..lol. I thought the fervor around him was cult like from day one.

This was actually based on a true story. The experiment took place in 1968 in Palos Alto, CA.  The book is available from AMAZON.
