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.
I did not attack you.

As to having to know about a post you made elsewhere that was directly on point. How am I supposed to find that out? Thats asking a little too much out of any Slashdot reader. I could post other comments of mine that mention I generalize and since generalizations are always false.....
The statement about Logical Fallacies applies to other countries as well. In the US, it seems much more prevelant now. The government and media are using these fallacies to oppress and deny and the sheeple just follow around baaaaaing.
What I found questionable about the reply was very simple.
"I wouldn't dismiss this issue altogether simply because it came from the Daily Mail; " implies that the Daily Mail is bad, but the Daily Mail isnt bad or is it? The Straw Man argument seems to be in play here.
Btw, Sean Hannity is in 540+ radio stations worldwide and can annoy and enlighten as he goes. Just like Rush Limbaugh or Kim Park Ho or any "Commentators" worldwide. He was used, as an example.
none of this Validates or Invalidates 3+5 =8. I love simple math exercises to confuse people.
1/3 =
2/3 =
so 1/3 + 2/3 = 1 =
These things can confuse those not associated with higher math. I use this as an example if you pare it down to Logical thinking. If you have not been trained in Math, you may end up thinking 1 does not equal 1 and Logic works similiar ways.
I would rather discuss Logic than the Daily Mail or any possible April fools jokes.
I can program myself out of a Hello World Contest!!
Do you write "Nazi'" when it's a singular? No, so don't write "Nazi's" when it's a plural.
No. You never use an apostrophe to signify a plural, except possibly maybe perhaps in some cases if it's a single, lower-case letter (like "a's"), but even that isn't good english.
