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

The Brits could save some time and money by just abolishing all texts and lessons and just using the Koran. Madrassas work so well in Islamic countries.

Schools across Britain are increasingly banning pork from lunch menus to avoid offending Muslims ?

Hundreds of schools have adopted a “no pork” policy ?

Bangers ban in hundreds of schools.

Pork is being banned from school dinners even where the majority of parents have no religious objection to it.

That report came out in 2007. There's a lot of controversy surrounding these reports. Some people brand these e-mails a "hoax."

I'm not sure myself what the situation is. So far as I can tell the country as a whole still has the Holocaust as part of the curriculum, though some Northern schools have opted out.

Do a little googling to get a fuller picture.

“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.

Absolutely disgusting! I'd like to thank the grandfather of one of the pupils in the class for my new tag line.

Snopes says this “report” is a false rumor dating back to 2007.

The Snopes entry (here: http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/holocaust.asp) contains a link to the ministry report.

Please check the multiple posts / replies above .

Also -

in Cheshire, a 14-year-old Roman Catholic girl who attends Ellesmere Port Catholic High School was branded a truant by teachers for refusing to dress like a Muslim and visit a mosque.

In Stoke-on-Trent, schools have been ordered to rearrange exams, cancel swimming lessons and stop sex education during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. In Norwich, the Knowland Grove Community First School has axed the traditional Christmas play to “look at some of the other great cultural festivals of the world.”

There was a suggestion that when William becomes king (assuming Charles has drowned in a vat of Malmsey), that he visit Canada and as soon as he lands, appoints Harry to be “Lords Protector of England” in his absence.

Harry immediately dissolves parliament, declares martial law, and rounds up vast herds of troublemakers, hanging them.

Yeah... I read that years ago, too. I don’t trust Snopes, but that doesn’t mean I am endorsing this story either.

Granted I'm not that much up on my history, but I had no idea there were that many Nazi Muslims. Guess if I were Muslim and found out members of my Nazi family had been involved in the Holocaust I'd be offended also.
