Thread Name: BS: Holocaust Out of UK Schools? (Hoax?)
Subject: BS: Holocaust Out of UK Schools?
I just received an e-mail from a friend in Switzerland. I'm hoping that some of our British friends can tell me if it is true, or another example of internet hogwash. The E-mail starts off with a recap of warning statements various people made about not forgetting the death camps and such and a list of the various groups killed in their millions by the Nazis, followed by:
"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 in to it."
Is this story the real deal or just a chain letter? Has the academic community in the UK actually removed info about the Holocaust because some Muslims there believe it is a fraud? Skivee, who does not forget, wants to know the facts.
