Some British schools are dropping lessons on the Holocaust and the Crusades, seeking to avoid antagonizing Muslim students. A Historical Association report, funded by the department for education and skills, said teachers feared confronting “anti-Semitic sentiment and Holocaust denial among some Muslim pupils.” Some teachers also “deliberately avoided teaching the Crusades” because “a balanced school treatment would have challenged teaching in some local mosques.”
Give the study credit for raising the point that almost any history lesson could put some noses out of joint. Teaching about the slave trade, for instance, could leave both white and black children feeling alienated. Better not mention it! One wag said that he deeply resents the Norman invasion of 1066 and doesn’t want his children to hear about it in school.
A spokesman for the Commission for Racial Equality said the report painted a “worrying picture.” But a government review of citizenship education recommended that all pupils learn about slavery and the legacy of the British Empire.
Some British Muslims object to the Red Cross as a symbol, as well as the cross of St. Andrew in the Union Jack, since Crusaders wore the emblem. The Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding said it is time for England to produce a new flag and adopt a patron saint “not identified with our bloody past and one we can all identify with.”
Britain usually outpaces the U.S. in the politically correct sweepstakes. Out of deference to Muslim pupils, the “Three Little Pigs” children’s story has become the “Three Little Puppies.” In many English schools, “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep” is now “Baa, Baa, Rainbow Sheep,” which makes no sense, but supposedly spares the feelings of sensitive black pupils. In some of the same schools, Snow White and the seven dwarfs have morphed into Snow White and the seven gnomes. The advantage here: gnomes aren’t really known for shortness, and, as fictional creatures, they’re in a poor position to complain that the story exploits them.
The national curriculum calls for compulsory teaching about Christianity and Islam in state schools, with lesser emphasis on Judaism and Hinduism. As part of lessons on Islam, children must copy out the Shahadah, the statement of beliefs that signals conversion to Islam. Unsurprisingly, some parents object to having their children write out a declaration of Islamic faith. Many teachers are now very careful when speaking to their Muslim students. At one secondary school, a teacher lost his job after students reported that he had said most suicide bombers were Muslim. The teacher denied it, but the school let him go without a hearing because the pupils “were very upset,” a school official noted.
Since the July 2005 subway bombings, Britain has started to rethink its commitment to aggressive multiculturalism. But some of the nation’s schools remain behind the curve.
Those that forget history are, are just doomed.
I am certain that there may be some German students in the schools as well? Are the schools dropping lessons on WWII which mention the Blitz in order not to "antagonize" them? Why not just cede the British Isles to the Muslim fanatics now and be done with it?
Now we have to re-write history to assuage these poor people? To Hell with political correctness, facts are facts.

"Saint Neville" who ensured that "Peace" would last for a thousand years...
LOL!

If the British school and government officials who allow this go to Austria will they be arrested for Holocaust denial?
Good f*cking grief! When will the multi-cultural insanity stop?!?
Soon, Western governments will start persecuting and killing jews, to keep the goddamned muslims happy.
After libs rewrite history, then they delete certain sections. Have you looked at your child’s history books lately? Good post.
Me thinks it won't be long until Europe falls to the Islamicists.
“If the British school and government officials who allow this go to Austria will they be arrested for Holocaust denial?”
That is a very good question.
No one really won during that long conflict. Is it not a crime to push aside history?
Aw-w-w schucks, while we’re at it, let’s delete the American Revolution, the bombing of London by those nice folks the Nazis, D-Day (don’t want to offend those nice folks the Germans) and, oh yes, let’s leave out anything about the occupation of Paris....want to keep the frogs happy too, don’t you know.
The surrender continues. To paraphrase what some say about President Reagan and the cold war, the bad guys can win their war by firing only a few shots. The world seems ready to cave in to them.
I wonder how the morons who make these decisions will feel when some day they are the oppressed minority. I suppose then they will say the USA and Bush didn’t do enough to protect the world from this evil!
Do the brits think that this will guarantee that their heads will remain firmly attached to their bodies 1 millisecond longer?
Sad - The British Empire was once such an example to the world. It seems America is not far behind either. Soon we will lose both of these great nations.
