    ...there is, in the UK, debate being heard on the matter of excising the subject of The Holocaust from school-texts, etc.

    Is it troo at all (at all).

    Sounds about right...but it will never happen. Too many Brits died in WW2...the scars are still visible in London as well as countless other countries. Then again,once a generational gap has taken place....and to my math it's just about right....meaning most of the Vets from WW2 have passed or are gathering up stores to pass into the next life. Being the "student" of history I am I feel somewhat foolish saying it's an act inconceivable...but then again Chamberlain really believed that guy.

    I think this is way down the list. Though it would not astound me if it is not already happening in some schools.
    Top of the list to prohibit is teaching students anything that is useful.

    It's the first I've heard of it. Perhaps you inadvertantly caught a sound-bite from Nick Griffin (Not really a politician, more of a racist nazi cunt)

    So he would be Glen Beck's British cousin then?

    Impossible, because he'd never have any foreign relatives. Never I tell you.

    Found a topic on this from two years ago. Some schools dropping Holocaust from history lessons in case it offends Muslims(Don't ask me ).

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...g-Muslims.html

    Saw an item this morning that this was happening in Canada too. Can't find the link.

    That one is a bit of a dilemma for Auld Nick(BNP).

    Why is it people with one eye seem to be down in the esteem stakes at the moment?

    Nick Griffin, British Nationalist Party

    Sheik Abu Hamza al Masri, Muslim preacher of hate

    Gordon Brown, British Prime Minister and leader of the former Socialist Party.

    Thanks for that, Bob.

    Okay - so it is happening, however minutely.

    Anyone care to comment on that, foregoing the comedy for a moment?

    "Politically correct" curriculae are just as backwards and retarded as "religiously correct" (i.e., creationism and abstinence only sex education) courses.

    Feel free to promulgate any nonsensical fairy tales you please in your mosque/church/cult compound but don't expect the public education system to reinforce or back them up.

    Yes, but to the extent that it takes place at all...

    What are/should we be willing to do to resist this?

    Ignoring it is, well - ignoring it.
