HISTORY: Will still focus on major events in Britain, Europe and the world, including both world wars

How can you teach about WW11 and not include Churchill???

My guess would be that any remaining 'instruction' pertaining to WW2 would be couched in the notion that Great Britain was a co-aggressor and was ultimately responsible for the conflict, just as the Socialist idiots over on this side of the pond would prefer that people blame the United States (and President Bush, but of course not Clinton, Carter, etc. ) for 9/11 and the War On Terror (although of course they would prefer that the term " war on terror" not be used and instead be replaced with "The Glory Of Islam's Rise And Justified Defense Against Aggressor Nations")

Interesting comment. I am a member of a British msn debate board. More than a few Brits in the group believe the US, UK, and France are responsible for starting WWII because the surrender terms imposed on Germany by the Allies after WWI led to conditions in which someone like Hitler could rise to power. Some of the Brits on the board view Churchill as a war criminal (the indiscriminate carpet bombing of German cities) and a racist. And they don`t view Neville Chamberlain as an appeaser. They argue that Chamberlain just tried to buy time so Britain could re-arm.
