A Jewish student from Kansas was denied entry into Britain for a summer job several weeks ago—apparently due to a customs agent’s anti-Semitism.

After being detained for more than nine hours, he was put back on a plane to the United States by customs officials. During that time he was never told why he was being denied entry.

According to the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle, the British man who had offered Louis “Chip” Cantor summer work experience, Kevin Shilling, said the British border agent he spoke to in his attempt to get Cantor admitted into Britian made more than one anti-Semitic comment to him during the telephone conversation they had. …

I remember the story. The Holocaust is taught in every state British school, I can assure you. Its a legal requirement. Those in the article who aren’t are breaking the law.

Because a few stupid teachers and schools don’t like teaching the horrors of war and genocide, that doesn’t equate to the ‘UK refusing to teach the Holocaust’ and refusing to do because of ‘kowtowing to Muslims’ etc.

the difficulty with all of this back and forth is that neither you nor I sit in those class rooms so we do not know. All we can do is rely on people’s reports.

In California children are being taken to mosques and made to dress like muslims. Is it part of the curricula? Not exactly but it is happening all too often. When parents object they are basically told to pound sand. Their children lose grade points and are openly picked on by teachers.

Saying something is a legal requirement does not impress me. As I recall I live in what is supposed to be a constitutional republic and that hasn’t meant jack to the folks on SCOTUS.

“You cannot get into Egypt if you have Israeli stamps (from personal experience).”

Nonsense. I know many who have done just that. And, there is a border crossing between Israel and Egypt (the Taba crossing, down by Eilat), so travel to Israel is clearly not a bar to travel to Egypt.
