Next, they're likely to teach that France actually won the war. :)

“France has not tackled its colonial history head-on. This contrasts with the ‘AngloSaxons’, who have introduced post-colonial studies in their universities. We have fallen phenomenally far behind.”

Yeah, but we are doing it very miserably. Many high school and universities only teach about the colonial period in a very gratuitous manner, nothing is put into context. Otherwise we would not have meaningless show trials of the Columbus, the calls for stripping schools of the names of the founding fathers. I could go on and on, but it just p!sses me off to think about it.

Well, they were never ahead.

I'm reminded of the story of the tortise and the hare
as a communist fable.
The USSR and the US had a race, which the US car won,
but it was reported in Pravda as ,
"Powerful product of dialectic engineering finishes second,
American car finishes next to last.

What about their academic freedom????? Quick, someone call Ward Churchill's office. American acedemia to the rescue...

[/sarcasm off]

It just shows the length to which the French government will stoop to maintain their envelope of lies. Of course, except for the coersion of law, they are no different from the leftist scum in American colleges.

I would like to speak up in favor of the French.

Well, at least my ancestors who left France to invade England. They were successful. Here's to the Normands!!

The rest of the family got out with les Huguenots.

And let's not forget he food.

Il n'y a pas d'honte être français. Il y a seulement l'honte dans rester de français.
(There is no shame in being French. There is only shame in staying French.)
