So France wants to be neutral on the holocaust? Neutral on whether it happened? Neutral on whether it was right or wrong?

I am left thinking that something is missing from this story somehow.

[the invisib1e hand]

The principle of secularism and neutrality in France is meant to protect the separation of church and state.

Another word for it is "emasculation."

Ah, well. We'd been so encouraged by Sarko's stand on burkhas that it was about time for a reality check.

WTF? Teachers in France are supposed to give “equal time” on the Holocaust?

[Da Coyote]

It’s amazing how showing people the truth is “brainwashing”.

It’s always been easy to joke lightheartedly about the French...but I’m beginning to delete the “lighthearted” part.

And I’m of French descent - and becoming quite ashamed of it.

[RockinRight]

So the genocide of 6 million people and it’s place in history is somehow not relevant because a religion was involved?

Jewish teacher who 'brainwashed' taught unvarnished historical truth to pupils over Holocaust is suspended by Muslim influenced/Holocaust denying French education ministry

Perhaps what the true headline should be?

[allmendream]

Muslim student complaints perhaps?

They don't think it happened on the one hand, and idolize Hitler for doing it on the other hand. But overall they would rather not hear it.

[Westbrook]

Vichy France collaborated with the Nazis rounding up French Jews and shipping them to the concentration camps and the ovens.

And they have a LARGE and VIOLENT MoHamHead population.

[massgopguy]

Why wouldn’t France be neutral on the Holocaust? They were neutral in WW II.

[ikka]

If she didn’t teach the Holodomor as well, I would definitely accuse her of bias.

[circlecity]

It seems France doesn’t want to focus on where a completely secular society leads. A nihilistic worldview will eventually lead to Nazism. Nietzsche + Darwin = Hitler.

[lack-of-trust]

“The French Education Minister”!!!

Can you imagine the US Sec of Edu calling Smallville Elementary to fire Mrs Mcgillicudy because he doesnt aprove of the way she is teaching 3rd grade???

[Hodar]

"A report by the ministry has now found the history teacher 'lacked distance, neutrality and secularism' in teaching about World War Two. "

Too cowardly to call 'evil' as 'evil' even after their country was invaded, millions of innocent people were slaughtered, and they had to have their collective butt's pulled out (yet again) by their allies.

Now they are too cowardly to stand up against the Muslims who protest in their streets, riot and burn cars, demand welfare benefits for multiple wives, shut down roads to pray, threaten citizens from going into or out of their homes during prayer - and Pres. Jughead wants to make the USA more like France? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!

[massgopguy]

“The Hitler you knew. The Hitler you loved. The Hitler with a song in his heart.”

[Mad Dawgg]

"Can you imagine the US Sec of Edu calling Smallville Elementary to fire Mrs Mcgillicudy because he doesnt aprove of the way she is teaching 3rd grade???"

Can I imagine it in the USA today?

I am astonished it hadn't happened yet in the Obamanation!

*It seems France doesn’t want to focus on where a completely secular society leads. A nihilistic worldview will eventually lead to Nazism. Nietzsche + Darwin = Hitler.*

I agree.

When people are taught that they are no more than animals that came about as a random accident, you wind up not having much respect for human life and you end up killing 100 million people.

A Jewish teacher in France has been suspended for ‘brainwashing’ her pupils with too much information about the Holocaust.

---

Pause and read the above, what is the accusation. It is too much information, not inaccurate information.

[ArrogantBustard]

So the genocide of 6 11.5 million people

Let's not whitewash the full extent of the National Socialists' crimes.

[hope_dies_last]

Correct! They need to give the guy a break.

My 5th Grade teacher regularly gave us 2 hour long dissertations about the Holocaust and the possibility of nuclear anhiliation by the Russians in a cold war and we loved it.

He is by far the best teacher I had and whom I can remember ever so presently. God rest his soul.

I see Klaus Barbie still lives furtering the Nazi agenda in France.
