Further talking about other bans on race theory in schools, Goldberg continued, “If you’re going to do this, then let’s be truthful about it because the Holocaust isn’t about race.” Goldberg said that the Nazis were about “man’s inhumanity to man” between “two White groups of people.” “But it’s about white supremacists going after Jews–“ Ana Navarro tried to point out. “But these are two white groups of people!” Goldberg said. “The minute you turn it into race it goes down this alley.
