And btw you might want to read this BBC news item which gives a far balanced and acccurate version of events. Notice where it says the Holocaust is protected in the curriculum. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/6517359.stm

Quote:The school stuff I posted is true...and didn't come from any Brit tabloid...came from AP wire story of a new British Government study that surveyed schools, and found that many were doing this.
Quote:And...what about all the rest I posted?

Quote:Originally posted by oldenglanddry: "It" never realy started, except in the minds of some people who dont live here and seem to be following a Brit-bashing trend on the RWED at the moment. When I was at school in the seventies I was not taught about the crusades, nor very much about the Halocaust except as part of general 20th century history. I was taught about the American civil war, however, and how it was all about "freeing the slaves". Most situations involve more than just what you read in a couple of articles or see on a news report or indeed pick up from the latest Hollywood movie. Interpretation seems to be nine tenths of the law.
