Because it ticks off Muslim students and their parents.
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.
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’.
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’.
Good for them.
We should stop teaching about 9/11 and holding remembrance ceremonies on its anniversary too, because I’m sure that makes a few of them mad as well. Besides, I know a few Democrat politicians who would just as soon forget that day ever happened.
And let’s forget that Pearl Harbor ever happened too. Because, you know, I’m sure there’s a few people of Japanese heritage who would just as soon sweep that under the rug. But you know what the liberal PC police and the mindless twits the appease with this garbage will never be in favor of forgetting? Any mistake this country has ever made. There will never be a call to forget about some of the things we did to American Indians in order to appease the descendants of Caucasian homesteaders.
Presumably because the descendants of Caucasian homesteaders don’t resort to suicide bombings when angered.
