Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools
dteichman2 writes "It appears that some UK schools are ignoring the Holocaust. A government-backed study, funded by the Department for Education and Skills, found that some teachers are reluctant to teach history lessons on the Holocaust for fear of offending Muslim students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial. Additionally, similar problems are being encountered with lessons on the Crusades because these lessons contradict teachings from local mosques."
You don't know just how correct that statement is.
History is written by the victors
What's pathetic is that on almost every article lately, I see people replying to a first or early post with something that is completely unrelated simply to get noticed by the mods. And what's more pathetic is that the mods reward them for it.
you got modded insighful. case in point, eh?
Irony is your friend.
blah blah blah
Mod parent up, please.
Beautifully stated.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the mods have an axe to grind on my above post? I made good points, but they are being consistently burried under the guise of being "overrated." I corrected some very obvious (and provably obvious) errors in the post above mine, and I'm being burried. It's not just the UK schools that have censorship, its this thread as well.
Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
