Heading and text from article:
The Education Department’s Propaganda Fail

Yesterday, the Trump Department of Education posted a 19-second video beginning with Gary Oldman portraying Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour. Churchill says, “You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth!” In the post, the DOE compared Trump to the tiger. But commentators quickly pointed out: the “tiger” Churchill is referencing is Adolf Hitler. The Education Department compared Trump to Hitler. After a few hours, the department deleted the post.
