| Quote: |
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 findings have prompted claims that some schools are using history 'as a vehicle for promoting political correctness'. |

| I'd heard about this but never had to actually see it (or do it) in person. Welcome to our brave, new world. We don't want to offend people with lessons on the Holocaust but hardly blink an eye anymore when people of the same faith blow up busses full of women and children because we "made" them do it. |

Here is their "logic"

| It found some teachers are dropping courses covering the Holocaust at the earliest opportunity over fears Muslim pupils might express anti-Semitic and anti-Israel reactions in class. |
We don't want to teach it in class in case some holocaust deniers pipe up.
I mean heaven knows have a debate and making them and their parents look like utter retardates is out of the question.
I can imagine it would be intimdating facing a room full of anti-semites but dang nabbit, it's gotta be done! |

| I have a problem with ommitting unsavoury parts of history. It is an exercice in brainwashing. Regarding the holocaust, I frankly think there is not enough of an emphasis on the death of the millions of gentiles during the holocaust. There was a total of 11 million deaths. Of the 11, the majority were Jews as Hitler was trying to make Europe Juden frei or Jew free by exterminating them, but the millions of Christians, the gypsies, and political prisoners, I feel, don't get enough of an emphasis unless I am mistaken. For the longest I didn't know several million gentiles also died. I was surprised, actually. I am not for removing Christmas trees, because it may offend a Hindu, Jew, Muslim, or Jehovah's Witness. I think political correctness has gone too far in some cases. |

That is true and many Jews actually accusse people of anti-semitism for pointing out that millions died in camps alongside Jews. Still, to totally deny the holocaust? Insanity. England is quickly becoming a laughingstock. And I thought Canada was a PC swamp. England may be worse. |

The UK is ahead of us, in terms of PC. We will join them shortly (we meaning Canadians). It just isn't possible to have an open, honest society when a parallel society of aggressive religious types is beginning to dominate demographically.
I suppose the UK can almost be written off as a Western country. Sadly, the enlightenment is drawing to an end. The post-modern criticism was perhaps true. The absence of truth does not offer a society any benefit. We have fallen into ourselves, and no longer are able to defend something we don't even believe exists.
It seems we are encouraging our colonization. Suppress our culture and history and encourage theirs. Ah well, it was a good run. Steyn is right. America is alone. |

| So Im wondering which member of the L.S.B. will be first in this thread to call us racist because we dont respect muslim holocaust deniers. IGTG? He's an anti-semite anyway, so I can see him feeling a brotherhood with these people. Ddeubel? He defends muslims on every issue. Hite? He loves Hitler so maybe he will be here to crack some jokes about the holocaust. |

Give the English a little more credit, most of the replies to that article are outcries against the denial and political correctness.
I found a little vertebrae here |

You're a piece of crap...
You recently called for the murder of 71 million Iranians. And then defended that position, so you have no right to accused anyoen of anything. Moreover, what you called for is actually WORSE than the holocaust in numbers, and you have the nerve to take shots at others.

And I didn't defend anything, I attacked your attack on other people. so technically, you started it.
More importantly, in my view, calling for the murder of 71 million people is worse. |

I called for the elimination of the Iranian state. Not the Iranian nation. Big diif. I would like Iran invaded, their leadership toppled and tried for crimes. Id like to see the state of Iran broken up into smaller pieces, giving political independence to minority groups long oppressed by Tehran. |
