Thread Name: BS: Holocaust Out of UK Schools? (Hoax?)
Subject: RE: BS: Holocaust Out of UK Schools? (Hoax?)
"The report gave the example of a history department in a northern city which decided not to teach the Holocaust as a topic for GCSE coursework." {underlining added} Not "some" history departments, but "a" history department...which honestly sounds to me as though one specific teacher was trying to evade classroom controversy. None of the articles that I have seen have come up with more than that specific program in that particular school which changed the curriculum in that manner. I would be glad to be pointed at an article that says "seven" schools or "many" schools have eliminated the Shoah because of a desire to avoid offending Muslim students.
