I feel your pain but unfortunately I have no answers. There are people with these insane opinions and they are spreading.

Two decades ago a school had a live debate between a teacher and a student Holocaust denier. The teacher thoroughly demolished the students arguments which made him look like a complete fool. Today the student (Björn Björkqvist) is the leader of one of the largest Nazi groups and the teacher severely regrets ever debating with him.

Sorry it’s not clear but why does the teacher regret debating him?

I imagine it's because the teacher thought that destroying that person in a debate with facts would change their opinion, but came to realize some people just aren't worth the time or effort because they will never change their opinions no matter how many facts you throw at them.
