| Teachers drop the Holocaust to avoid offending Muslims |
| 2007-04-01 |
| HT: LGF Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, a Government backed study has revealed. It found some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial. There is also resistance to tackling the 11th century Crusades - where Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem - because lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques. ...The report said teachers feared confronting 'anti-Semitic sentiment and Holocaust denial among some Muslim pupils'. More cringing self-abasement at link... |

| #10 Your children's education is too important to be left in the hands of politically correct bureaucrats. Once the Left begins to program the minds of the young, it takes years of bumping up against inconvenient facts to restore a reasonable point of view. |

| #9 AT - last I've heard history isn't taught in the U.S. public schools. So I guess you don't after to worry they will water it down. When I went to school (70's) the crusades was taught as a unprovoked attack by the christian church against 'peaceful muslims'. So it's already happened here 30 years ago. |

| #8 This is revisionism in its nascent form. Halt it now or submit to dhimmitude. What a disgrace! Especially from a nation that gave us the Magna Charta. |

| #6 they should fear being fired for not properly doing their jobs more than they should fear the reaction of some of their students. Students who can't answer the questions correctly should be given an F. If the parents don't like it they can send them to school at the mosque. I wouldn't be surprised if the same is happening here in schools in the US. |
