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.

And French History should include a lot less about Napoleon, a lot more about French’s actual history in WW2 including what the Free French forces did around 1945.Monte Casino would be real nice for example.
Also the Free French forces executed several socialists who collaborated with the Nazies,I really think that should be in a history textbook.Some things to have to be put in perspective.
I get that the left likes lording over the blacks in subtle yet simple ways but i would like to remind the left there is some serious consequences to some of their stupidest ideas.
We don’t have a lot of room to gloat. Leftist American history, as taught in our schools, is neatly broken up so that the Civil War is right at the end of the course year, and the “teacher” always runs out of time to teach the War the Republicans won, before the end of the semester. Same with WW2, which is largely skipped over so that they can advertize the nobility of the Viet Nam protesters. Odd how, after a public school education, these snowflakes can’t find SE Asia on a map, but know all about Kent State and Watergate.
