i feel like this warrants its own post so i'm replying to it separately from the comment. it's irresponsible to give nazis an uncritical platform and we need to punch fascists etc etc but it's actually massively important to teach about these beliefs to students. students need to be taught how to recognize and critique fascist talking points and propaganda to inform their own understanding of politics and the best way to do that is through guided instruction. otherwise when students ARE eventually exposed to nazi ideology they will be predisposed to accept it uncritically. put massive fucking disclaimers in front of any books that promote nazi talking points but don't bar access to them entirely, they're important artifacts for deconstructing fascist ideology and studying our enemies

yes i'm aware that "censorship is bad and the people who advocate for and enforce it are bad actors" is not exactly a hot take but as a trained professional educator i will say that the way people will try to frame censorship as "protecting" children is so bullshit when so much of what we know about building safety for children is related to giving them access to information
