United Kingdom - 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.
The study, funded by the Department for Education and Skills, looked into 'emotive and controversial' history teaching in primary and secondary schools.
It found some teachers are dropping courses covering the Holocaust at the earliest opportunity over fears Muslim pupils might express anti-Semitic and anti-Israel reactions in class. [thisislondon]

Now I know why the Brits were captured in International waters at the Iraqi-Iranian borders.
Maybe they aught to rethink their priorities.

And this from the UK, short for the UNITED Kingdom? Frankly, I'm not surprised. Muslims will soon outnumber (they perhaps already do) their non-Muslim neighbors in England. This is just the beginning. I believe there will come a time when the proud British will be scared-- scared to death, actually-- to teach anything in schools not ok'd by their Muslim faction. Are the Muslims there already a majority in the British population? If not, it's only a matter of time.

And thats how we get anti-semites. Keep it up England, and when the muslims invade this time and not the Germans, we will see who comes to your rescue.
