They were not teaching lies - they were telling it as it was

"Nationalists myths are not the truth.
If taught as history they are lies.


"1938, the editors stated their commitment to replace 'interpretive distortions' with 'value-free history'"
Which is exactly what I said, to which you responded "Your "description" of what you wish she said is shite."


She went on to say that it never happened.
"this debate took place within the rarefied atmosphere of academia and failed to percolate down into the schoolrooms "
The schools ignored them and carried on with their "distortions."

I do not lie. I quoted exactly what was said on the programme, with a link.

The effect on children of "indoctrination" with "anti-British propaganda" is bound to produce anti-British feelings in many if not most of them.
How can you deny that obvious fact Jim?
That you do shows how closed you mind is to the truth.
