Parents and teachers across France are up in arms over new textbooks which carry accounts of French history revised to avoid insulting ethnic minority pupils. They say common sense has been sacrificed to political correctness in French schools.
Natives of France now fear their identity will soon disappear along with their history.
A modern French history textbook now boasts no less than 20 pages on the history of black slavery while devoting a mere six pages to the achievements of Napoleon – shown here sitting on a toilet.

20 pages eh? I suspect a bit of that is devoted to debauching dusky maidens.
i hope they cover the traditions of french cinema: adultery, suicide, or both.
Let me guess. They crushed the German Wehrmacht and single handily won WWII?
Yesterday, someone on another thread asked why in the world the OccupyDC protesters would try to storm the Smithsonian. The answer, though it is doubtful that any of those directly involved in doing it could articulate their real motivation, is revealed in that quote from the article at the link.
If you can separate a people from its history (good and bad), you separate them from their identity and ultimately destroy them as "a people." They want to destroy history to destroy the nation.
How much you wanna bet they did not erase the beheadings in the French Revolution?
Must be the same textbook authors who have American History books now that have one or two paragraphs about Lincoln & multiple chapters about Martin Luther King.
At least he wasn't defecating on a Police Car.
“..textbook now boasts no less than 20 pages on the history of black slavery”
The NWO continues to try to define slavery as that only done to blacks...by whites...as they proceed to enslave us all....
When it comes to imperialism and repression, Louis XIV was Peter Pan compared to Mansa Musa. King Musa was a ruthless imperialist whose kingdom contained tens of thousands of slaves--he took 12,000 of them with him on his famous hajj to Mecca in 1325.
Did they mention, how hard it was for them, in the resistance?
And the first thing they need to review is the history of the religious wars!
The second is the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution!
And they also need to re-learn who Charles Martel was and what THAT was all about!
And all that's just for starters!
The French are determined to relive their HISTORY--and especially all its worst episodes.
IF ANYONE NEEDS TO LEARN THE LESSONS OF HISTORY, IT'S THE FRENCH!
AND THEY (of all people) ARE DETERMINED NOT TO!
They have their eyes squeezed shut and their fingers in their ears, and now they've decided to edit out the history they don't like and replace it with things they do. What a bunch of jackasses! They're getting what they deserve, and vice versa!
Every Russian film I have seen has always ended with all the lead characters, dead.
What do the French, or any other Europeans, expect? They started their own cultural suicides in the 1960s; cultures take a long time to die, but die they will if they’re cut free from their roots.
Here in the US, all cultures are inviolate, sacrosanct, and to be celebrated.
Unless it happens to be the American culture that made this country so great. That’s verboten.
¨Play La Marseillaise. Play it!¨
the french “intellectuals” and their frankfort school buddies next door started this stupid
multicultural, fascism stuff.
so good that they get hit in the face with it too.
