<b>Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, a Governmentbacked study has revealed.
It found some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial.</b>
(So holocaust denial is now a 'valid' belief? I suppose when islam and christoism are considered 'valid' beliefs, holocaust denial can't be far behind...
The above is predictable of a still-christian country: continued anti-Semitism is not a sign of dhimmitude, but the following is Dhimmitude of UK with capital D. After all, the Holocaust is another people's history, but the Crusades is part of the history of the English.)
<b>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.</b>
(Show's over. Islam has won in the UK, what remains is just the playing out thereof.)
The findings have prompted claims that some schools are using history 'as a vehicle for promoting political correctness'.
The study, funded by the Department for Education and Skills, looked into 'emotive and controversial' history teaching in primary and secondary schools.
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.
The researchers gave the example of a secondary school in an unnamed northern city, which dropped the Holocaust as a subject for GCSE coursework.
The report said teachers feared confronting 'anti-Semitic sentiment and Holocaust denial among some Muslim pupils'.
It added: "In another department, the Holocaust was taught despite anti-Semitic sentiment among some pupils.
"But the same department deliberately avoided teaching the Crusades at Key Stage 3 (11- to 14-year-olds) because their balanced treatment of the topic would have challenged what was taught in some local mosques."
<b>A third school found itself 'strongly challenged by some Christian parents for their treatment of the Arab-Israeli conflict-and the history of the state of Israel that did not accord with the teachings of their denomination'.</b>
(Schools also bending to the will of christians, who won't stand their kids finding out that historically there was no Nazareth until way after alleged jeebus.)
The report concluded: "In particular settings, teachers of history are unwilling to challenge highly contentious or charged versions of history in which pupils are steeped at home, in their community or in a place of worship."
But Chris McGovern, history education adviser to the former Tory government, said: "History is not a vehicle for promoting political correctness. Children must have access to knowledge of these controversial subjects, whether palatable or unpalatable."
The researchers also warned that a lack of subject knowledge among teachers - particularly at primary level - was leading to history being taught in a 'shallow way leading to routine and superficial learning'.
Lessons in difficult topics were too often 'bland, simplistic and unproblematic' and bored pupils.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Where are Wienerschnitzel, his gang and their Indian communist supporters now? But I forget, they were never for upholding the accurate presentation of history or religion - they were ever for lying on such matters and are now thrilled that islamis are being appeased in the UK. Next stop: the US and Wienerschnitzel's own hometown, as islam has happily accepted their invitation.
