News Article– Because you are all very busy with your lives I will take upon myself the burden of summarisation. Schools in Britain (our favourite backwater nuclear power) are dropping ‘controversial’ subjects like the Crusades and the Holocaust because –get this- they fear it might insult Muslim students.
Edit: I’m sorry, turned out only 1 teacher in 1 school pulled this stunt.
Fuck you teachers, fuck you all. This is, in its very essence, a disgrace to humanity. History should be sacred; it happened, there. It might not have been a good thing, and you might not agree, but general consensus is it happened. This is absurd. First of all, Muslims barely make up a few percent of the total population (3%) . Second and more importantly; who cares? This is a great example of positive discrimination. This seems to be a popular fad the last decade in Europe. For example; in the Netherlands, the government is happily funding mosques while withdrawing funds from Christian churches. Sounds ridiculous? But wait, there is more! In Amsterdam (Netherlands again) local authorities tried to remove a WWII memorial monument because it offended Muslims and Jews (it had the form of a crucifix). Fortunately, neighbourhood officials fought with all their might against this stab at history and the memorial still stands today.
When will people learn that offence is not caused by anything you tell someone, but by their own ignorance? Not teaching the Holocaust is not only against all logic, but doing so will practically insure its repetition. Bad things do not go away by trying to forget them. In conclusion, let the horrors of the past be a beacon of hope and a reminder of how to better ourselves as a species, and not something that may possibly superficially insult an insignificant part of the population.
Today my hope in society took another fall.
