Britain's
Muslims challenge Holocaust
Unquestionably immigrants, especially those that the host people object to, are by all the rules of good manners obliged to alter their ways and blend in with the indigenous community.
If it were not for the appalling treachery of certain mindless individuals among our own kind aided and abetted by
a fair percentage of racial aliens the altering of the British identity and way of life would not occur

CHICKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST?
It wasn't supposed to work this way. When Britain traitors pressed for the open-ended immigration policy which ushered in a demographic shift adding millions of Muslims from the Third World to Britain's population, it failed to realize that the same
policy could well have some unintended consequences,

Teachers drop the Holocaust to avoid offending Muslims

LONDON - Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, a Government backed study has revealed.
It found some teachers are reluctant to cover the [alleged] atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial.
There is also resistance to tackling the 11th century Crusades - where Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem - because lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques.
The findings have prompted claims that some schools are using history "as a vehicle for promoting political correctness."
The study, funded by the Department for Education and Skills, looked into "emotive and controversial" history teaching in primary and secondary schools.
Fears of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel reactions
It found some teachers are dropping courses covering the Holocaust at the earliest opportunity over fears Muslim pupils might express anti-Semitic and anti-Israel reactions in class.
The researchers gave the example of a secondary school in an unnamed northern city, which dropped the Holocaust as a subject for GCSE coursework.
The report said teachers feared confronting 'anti-Semitic sentiment and Holocaust denial among some Muslim pupils'.
It added: "In another department, the Holocaust was taught despite anti-Semitic sentiment among some pupils.
"But the same department deliberately avoided teaching the Crusades at Key Stage 3 (11- to 14-year-olds) because their balanced treatment of the topic would have challenged what was taught in some local mosques."
A third school found itself "strongly challenged by some Christian parents for their treatment of the Arab-Israeli conflict-and the history of the state of Israel that did not accord with the teachings of their denomination."
'Teachers unwilling to challenge contentions versions of history'
The report concluded: "In particular settings, teachers of history are unwilling to challenge highly contentious or charged versions of history in which pupils are steeped at home, in their community or in a place of worship."
But Chris McGovern, history education adviser to the former Tory government, said: "History is not a vehicle for promoting political correctness. Children must have access to knowledge of these controversial subjects, whether palatable or
unpalatable."
The researchers also warned that a lack of subject knowledge among teachers - particularly at primary level - was leading to history being taught in a "shallow way leading to routine and superficial learning."
Lessons in difficult topics were too often "bland, simplistic and unproblematic"and bored pupils. E-mail this message / Printer friendly
