"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
The mission to whitewash history in curricula is going on all over the place. Funded by a variety Soros orgs and others in the globalist 3rd way movement these manipulators and trashers of truth must be stopped!
"Zero" as in what the kids will end up knowing in terms of useful knowledge.
And zero was not invented by Muzzies! It was discovered as far as we know by Mayas and Hindus. Why do they insist on perpetuating this baloney?

more Brit insanity; pathetic.
Too late for them, they aren't getting my kids. (of course this is England anyway)
Although the word 'algebra' is Arabic in origin, the origin of algebra itself goes back to ancient Babylonians.
Is the Telegraph the one that's lying and attributing zero to the Muslim rather than the Hindus, or the proposed British curriculum?
Either way, I suspect a lot of British Hindus will be up in arms.
Ping-a-ling.
Way too late to stop. 60 or 70 years ago, maybe, but I doubt it.
The multicultural mafia at work.
So the madrassas in London will be instituting this new touchy-feely kumbayah kurriculum as well?
Didn't think so.
Oh, don't kid yourself -- serious versions of this go on everywhere, here. I taught a university class which censored itself -- the students themselves refused to allow people with conservative viewpoints to give their views in class -- as the teacher, I had to wrestle with the class impulse in order to keep the forum open. Pathetic but true.
The Brits have gone barmy. They are in a hole and they are designing better shovels.
I can't wait until grade two math class consists of a troupe of homosexual chippendales performing an interpretative dance, set to ethnic tribal drumbeats, to illustrate the proper way to sheath a surgically mutilated 3-pronged phallus with a gonadal-diversity-approved, union labor, halal tri-condom, followed by the proper procedure to initiate a partial-birth abortion (with real demonstration!) using fair-trade eco-friendly products, in the event that heterosexual intercourse was involved (rare), the condom failed, and the owner of said phallus was indeed truly male (50% chance, via government diversity quota). Following math is sex-ed.
Ever notice how moonbats talk about "root causes" of problems when doing so is downright stupid, yet fail to bring up the concept when it is truly relevant?
The root cause of Islamophobia is not failure to acknowledge "key Muslim contributions." If the true cause went away, Islamophobia would go with it.
Teaching children that muzzies invented algebra is supposed to make the like them more?????
