British schools drop Holocaust from history lessons so as not to offend Muslims
Hot Air ^ | August 17, 2012 | Howard Portnoy

A new report by Britain’s Department for Education and Skills notes that an increasing number of schools are dropping the teaching of the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim students.

The report, titled Teaching Emotive and Controversial History, also observes that many teachers are reluctant to discuss the Crusades because the lessons frequently contradict what is taught in local mosques...

30 non-Muslim children at an elementary school in Scotland were required to visit a mosque in Glasgow, where they were instructed to recite the shahada, the Islam declaration of faith, which states, “There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger.” In addition, Muslim leaders are demanding that Islamic preachers be sent to every school in Scotland to teach children about Islam

This is really hard to believe. The Brits were never pussies, what the hell is going on?

The Brits are pussies with the Muslims these days; however, I would like to see this report verified. This may be premature or a mistake.

The British, like many European nations, sent their men to be killed in various wars in order to preserve their liberties and culture. Unfortunately, what was mostly left behind to propagate were the wusses and wimps. Their progeny are now into the 2nd and 3rd generations of wimphood and will sadly undermine and destroy all that their ancestors (and ours) gave their lives to protect.

At the current rate of decline we won't recognize Europe in 25 years.

This story has been circulating since at least 2007. It seems true that some local UK schools avoid the Holocaust, but proof would seem to be in order for it to be proclaimed officially. I’d say such reports are probably premature.

After WWII, the Brits lost it. Several Labour governments then systematically dismantled their national pride, created an enormous welfare state, and their MSM destroyed their sense of family, faith, courage, honor and decency. Their version of political correctness is borderline insane.

Those who stand up with pride, like the English Defense League, the UK Independence Party, and the far right are shouted down, called hate groups, sometimes outlawed, but most importantly are kept out of political power by the two majority parties.

The Tories are now totally controlled by the equivalent of what we would call RINOs. They are now just a less strident version of Labour, perhaps not so incredibly foolish with money.

So in England it is now a crime to deny the Holocaust, and soon will be de classe to discuss the Holocaust.

What's worse? Denying the Holocaust happened or not even mentioning it?

Looks like one more thing being shoved down the memory hole if this report is true.

This genetics theory is absolute crap. Apart from anything else, many of those killed already had kids when they died. The problem is a leftist culture which has poisoned the minds of several generations now, possibly as part of an old Soviet demoralisation program which infiltrated the educational, media and intellectual establishments and began to deride and destroy old values in a way designed to make it easier to subvert the population towards supporting (or at least not resisting) Marxist-Leninism.

There are several books and lectures available by Yuri Bezmenov, an ex-KGB agent, who explains in more detail what the Soviet agenda was and it is not really surprising that we are were we are at today:

When do the Christian crucifixions start?

Christian-loaded crosses lining each side of The Thames would be impressive.

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and ‘pray to Allah’ during a religious education lesson.

Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.

They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights.

Not only was it forced upon them, my daughter was told off for not doing it right.

“They’d never done it before and they were supposed to do it in another language.”

“My child has been forced to pray to Allah in a school lesson.” The grandfather of one of the pupils in the class said: “It’s absolutely disgusting, there’s no other way of putting it.

“My daughter and a lot of other mothers are furious about their children being made to kneel on the floor and pray to Islam. If they didn’t do it they were given detention.

The problem for the Brits and for us too, is that they
let TOO MANY Islamics into their country, now they
are in a position where fear guides their steps.
Fear of rage, Fear of violence, fear of having to
deal with these fanatic jihadists.

Sadly it’s only going to get worse.

The Brits are giving up. From swims at rec centers for Muslim women only (http://www.bnp.org.uk/news/regional/muslim-women-demand-muslim-only-swim-bolton-one) to Muslims demanding (and apparently sometimes getting) males over 9 banned from government-run daycare.

Here is a link on Drudge. Don’t know how accurate the reports are.

Muslim leaders are demanding...

Don't know about the rest, but this I can believe. It's all they ever do (other than moaning and whining about how unfair their host countries are to them...)
