There was a link on Drudge to a story about how the WWII Holocaust might not be covered in British schools. The reason? Political correctness:
Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, a Governmentbacked study has revealed. It found some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial.

I think this story can teach us many lessons about how we present history and about how cowardice may play into the hands of the totalitarians of our society. The story should really be a shock to us all.

I'm not shocked. We are talking about England here. This is the nation who once cast out its Jewish population. I wonder if that is glossed over too. 😡
People are going to get tired of tip-toeing around religion. And then we will all be in trouble.
I think it's just a certain religion they are tip-toeing around. 😡
