An Instagram influencer, 22, claims that learning about World War Two will hit millennials' mental health after Apprentice stars revealed that they didn't know the dates of a conflict that claimed 80 million lives.

Reality TV star Freddie Bentley told Good Morning Britain today that he thinks schools should trim back what they teach on the topic.

'It was a hard situation, World War Two, I don't want anyone to think I'm being disrespectful,' he said, but added: 'I remember learning it as a child thinking "Oh my God it's so intense".'

Did a quick search, youtube has a number of episodes listed. Thanks for the post, I’ll be checking them out...probably binge watch and contribute to climate change.

Intense? Pray for the human race. We really do not need to worry about climate change. Chances are we will be long gone before it would effect anything!

‘Social media Influencer’.... now that’s a social justice warrior title if I’ve ever heard one.

Almost as meaningless and lacking as ‘raising awareness’.

It's someone who 'raises awareness'

I grew up looking at actual un-censored, un-redacted, un-airbrushed photos of the battles in the Pacific, and the aftermath in Japan and China. My Dad was the official photographer on his ship and had his own darkroom.

When we were attacked on 9/11/01, I saved boxes of photos, newspaper clippings, and memorabilia because I had a sneaking suspicion that, in a few years, it would all be swept under the rug.

I still have it, in a sealed box in a closet. It has been with me through three big moves.

I don’t think I was wrong either.

We are doomed! Soon the entire nation will be snowflakes doing nothing but running around crying looking for a safe space.

200 years? Some schools in TX (and I’ve heard elsewhere, too) don’t teach history before the almighty Clintons.

They can’t handle little daily realities. That’s why they need safe spaces with plenty of green crayons.

World War II in Europe was started by German Socialists and Russian Socialists. They don’t want anyone to think about that.

“And I would go further and say that Globalists are not precisely Socialist but are more correctly identified as Fascist. The Media companies, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and so many other Big Business entities want to get in bed with Big Government entities and together they plan to rule over us. That’s Fascism. That’s the Globalist dream.”

Apparently, it's somebody who's going to choose the next President, after Twitter's announcement about political advertising.
