Holocaust history too insensitive for English curriculum
I wish that was an April Fools joke, but it appears it is not.
In the ever growing quest for Muslim appeasement, schools have long been target of demands for accommodation, and excessive sensitivity. We give them prayer rooms, Muslim bathrooms they can clean their feet, custom school schedules for prayer time and God knows how many other specialized exceptions or favored treatment.
Well it was only a matter of time before the curriculum itself came under fire.
The Daily Mail via Hot Air:
Teachers drop the Holocaust to avoid offending Muslims
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.
How much more of this pandering and foolish political correctness will we have to witness?
