Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I don't mean to be glib or trivializing: Texas A&M's "to end indoctrination you must teach only our doctrine" is some arbeit macht frei obscenity. No, of course it's not genocide. But it's the logic of sadistic erasure, the way in 1984 2+2=5 made even believing the truth impossible.
