But despite their many, many faults and erroneous logic, the Nazi's did have a rather compelling vision when they spoke of a quest for a pure race.
Visit the the slums of any large U.S. city like Detroit, Chicago, L.A., Oakland, or Houston and tell me truthfully that you can't see the allure of that Vision.

Nah, I find it a nightmare. It's interesting that most of the Nazi race crap goes back to racists and proponents of eugenics in the US.

How?
It's a little thing called 'competition'. Each state is supposed to be a laboratory where they can experiment with policies and if those policies are good then they will be copied by other states. If they are bad they will be abandoned. If they are a disaster then at least the disaster is limited to just that state. This is Federalism and it is how our country was intended to function. The department of education is unconstitutional and needs to be defunded.
Also, as one of the commenters posted, I also learned about those neo-nazi codes by watching the tv series "Gangland". Nothing new there.

Sorry but before the lunatic known as Hitler took power, were not the master race themselves wallowing under a blanket of poverty, unemployment, ghettos of their own making untill they made the Jews scapegoats??

A compelling vision wrought murder, rape, and theft.

The loony liberals are losing their minds again. If you think about it, pretty much anything could be interpreted by the tin-foil hat crowd as a "secret code".

From the link-
Consider, for example, a symbol as seemingly far from the swastika as the number 14. This is code for "14 words," a phrase first coined by American white separatist David Lane. His 14-word statement, "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children" is a mantra for many neo-Nazis.

"BH" is another secret hate code. This stands for Blood and Honour, an extreme right-wing group banned in Germany more than a decade ago. The number 88 is gaining popularity, too, a reference to the outlawed phrase "Heil Hitler." With "H" being the eighth letter of the alphabet, to Nazis, "88" means "Heil Hitler."

Ridiculous. So what now? Should we ban the number "14" and the letters "BH" from public? What if my initials are BH? Does this mean no more 14th floors in buildings? No more 14th birthday parties?

The fear-mongering over harmless words, numbers, flags, and other things is getting out of hand. Everything's a "secret racist code" to the progressive paranoids. Liberals won't be happy until everything and everyone is banned from public space.

Embrace common sense and just say no to liberal stupidity.

A disturbing trend: Neo-Nazi codes | The Upshot - Yahoo! News

I find this, as most probably do, unsettling. I think it also reminds us of the dangers of youth indoctrination and the high risk areas of where this can occur, of which the Germans are well aware from past experience, "...among teachers and social workers and others with access to German youths."

This is one of the reasons I am against the Federal Dept. of Education and the NEA, which I believe are a way too politically influential force for our youth.
Another reason to insist our schools withdraw from being social change agents and return to plain academics.
this is nothing new, as we have had progressives try to "nazify" this country since the beginning of the 20th century. in fact there were public propnazi rallies in new york city and other places around the country in the 1930s up until the beginning of world war two.

Are you guys nazis yourselves or why do you pretend there is no nazi symbolism?
There are definitely such codes, which include for instance certain clothes brands such as Steinar, which ironically has been bought by an Arab corporation meanwhile
There are also certain numbers and combinations of numbers that are used and thus cannot be used for German internet domain names.

.
Exactly. There will always be some nefarious elements, as well as differing opinions/values. That is why our founding fathers avoided giving much power to the federal government and now we have turned control of education over to the federal government via a federal curriculum which is tied to funding. It is not right to centrally control and open the doors to indoctrination of our most precious and vulnerable children.
