>>So is your issue that they use Facebook?

More with the way they use Facebook. There was an interview with their Social Media manager in which he was rather proud of how he could manipulate the visibility of comments without alerting the contributors to the fact they were being censored.

That was an entirely different attitude from the teachers I had from 1972 through 1987 who openly discussed all relevant topics.

Sadly those teachers were never informed, or taught, about the issues and writings relating to Luther’s Antisemitism.

Otherwise I believe they would’ve honestly discussed it in the context of the history of WWII (since history class generally came right after 1st period religion).

Also, I took the same History courses - at the same College where those teachers studied. So did my wife who was an LCMS teacher for 25+ years.

We were both kind of shocked at what had been deliberately, apparently, left out of the curriculum at ALL levels of education.

So you go to a Lutheran teaching school take history and the teachers don't teach about Luther's JATL? Is that it? I never went to a Lutheran school let alone one for a degree in Education (got one elsewhere) and yet I knew of his writings. Just studying to pass the test?

I'm shocked that you quit learning, never went to LCMS Bible class?

Were you LCMS members at the time?
