The justification for the Nazi flags:

”There is a difference between displaying flags in curriculum when you’re teaching on them,” he said. “You don’t censor history here. That’s not what we’re doing.”

Fuck LGBTQ history though, amiright?

That's because love and compassion for others is obviously evil.
While hatred and oppression of minorities is good and righteous.

But of course you have to be an idiot to understand that, so you probably don't.

Why would you need to display the Nazi or Confederate flag? A picture in a history book should be enough. I would have walked out of class if either of those flags were unfurled in my history classes.

At this point, can we change it so they're no longer called the Grand Old Party (GOP) and instead call them the Fascist American Party (FAP)?

I refer to them as the Nat-C (Nationalist Christian) party

It's unbelievable how much hatred these people have.
