Okay, okay. But can we still wear our Dracula outfits and impale some muslums come Halloween?
It's probably just as well if they don't teach the Crusades in the public schools, since for as long as I can remember they have been presented as wicked Christian aggression against the nice, harmless Muslims.
Sorry! It's History! Ya gotta teach it to the little worms whether they like the truth or not!
Unless, of course, 'political-correctness' is paramount. In that case, we don't have to teach them anything that happenned from 650 A.D. 'till today!
Teach them how to write on mud slabs with sticks, and proceed to bird-feather quills and goat skins.
No more cars, phones, electricity, indoor plumbing - whoops, got ahead of them there.
In other words, teach them to live ignorant and in squalor. 'Eat with your right hand, and wipe with your left' .............. FRegards

Very appropriate that you mention the great quote from Santayana. It’s a shame that because of this cowering, the British youngsters won’t even have an opportunity to learn about the roots of their civilization.
Thank you so much for your intelligence and wisdom concerning all this. I learned from you and I wish society, at large, could openly debate these issues. Regarding teachers, some of those in my circles cannot wait to retire.
