There was an outcry last year when Winston Churchill was dropped from a list of figures which needed to be covered in history, although the Second World War remains compulsory.

It would seem extraordinarily difficult to me to teach very much about the Second World War without some amount of reference to Winston Churchill.

Sort of like teaching about subjects such as astronomy and our solar system without making reference to the Sun, eh?

Sir Winston as well as anyone who scored victories against the Left are not held in high esteem in academia.

Churchill dropped from England's history syllabus ( pandering to a P.C. agenda)

"At the same time it is important that children learn tolerance, respect and understanding of other cultures and countries . . ."

This is what the educrats consider to be their real reason for being. Reading, writing, etc. are secondary. THIS is what is wrong with education today. It may not be the only thing wrong, but dump this crap, and you will have gone a long way to fixing what ails our education process.
