UK removes Holocaust history from text books
 
It is a matter of history that when Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps, he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
 
He did this because he said in words to this effect: 'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'
 
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke.
 

This week, the UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offended' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred.
 
This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.
 
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.
 
This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the
 
almost six million Jews,
 
23 million Russians,
 
10 million Christians
 
and 1,900 Catholic priests
 
(*according to nearly every official estimate ever tabulated)

who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian peoples looking the other way, and to the 45,000 Canadian, 383,000 British, 39,000 Australian and 417,000 US military service members who sacrificed their livesto put down the warmongers who perpetrated it.
 
417,000, by the way, was a third of one percent of the total US population at the time.  If we were forced to fight another war against the same kind of tyranny today and expected the same percentage of losses, we would lose a million of our brave young military loved ones. With the rise of militant Islam, we appear to be headed that way, and if we continue to appease them in the name of political correctness, which is obviously an oxymoron in itself, we will be burying them soon enough.
 
Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

Wherever their numbers are enough to intimidate the teachers,
the teachers choose not to teach "offensive" material....




--- 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’.

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.”

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’.

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.

This was only one school system in the Northern UK, not the whole country.
