Going to work this morning, a local radio talk show host mentioned that the UK will no longer teach the history of the holicost in fear of reprisal from the Muslim community in there country? Censorship is a strong word so i took the time to get a definition.

Censorship is the removal or withholding of information from the public by a controlling group or body. Typically censorship is done by governments, religious groups, or the mass media, although other forms of censorship exist. The withholding of official secrets, commercial secrets, intellectual property, and privileged lawyer-client communication is not usually described as censorship when it remains within reasonable bounds. Because of this, the term "censorship" often carries with it a sense of untoward, inappropriate or repressive secrecy.

Can this be true.........?

Re: United Kingdom may censor the Holocaust ?

If what TG has posted is true, it is the opposite of those laws tommays. Won't teach about it so as not to offend. The other laws are against denial of the holocaust . . .

TG,

Can you get us anything to follow-up on?

Re: United Kingdom may censor the Holocaust ?

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/education/article1600686.ece

eachers are dropping controversial subjects such as the Holocaust and the Crusades from history lessons because they do not want to cause offence to children from certain races or religions, a report claims.

A lack of factual knowledge among some teachers, particularly in primary schools, is also leading to “shallow” lessons on emotive and difficult subjects, according to the study by the Historical Association.

The report, produced with funding from the Department for Education, said that where teachers and staff avoided emotive and controversial history, their motives were generally well intentioned.

“Staff may wish to avoid causing offence or appearing insensitive to individuals or groups in their classes. In particular settings, teachers of history are unwilling to challenge highly contentious or charged versions of history in which pupils are steeped at home, in their community or in a place of worship,” it concluded.

However, it was concerned that this could lead to divisions within school, and that it might also put pupils off history.

[colour=blue]Right ON JB! That brings up three questions ta ponder:
#1. Do Liberals want to repeat history?
#2 Are Liberals unaware of the obvious causal relationship you just stated?
#3 Are they so arrogant and full of Kool aid that they think they are able to direct us to a new Liberal enlightened beginning of human history along the lines of what Boom talks about?
I: as a Cornservative; have a hard time knowing the answer, (I can't read minds as ya know). I wonder if Rolmops' n' PW2s' smoke could enlighten me? I sure would like to try some smoke that makes ya understand that kinda stuff!! 8):$8)8)JR[/colour]

Re: United Kingdom may censor the Holocaust ?

Merc,
Using this sensitive subject in your crusade against things that you disagree with and subsequently call liberal is at least in my case hurtful and otherwise plain stupid.
Point in case.
Most neo nazis love to deny the holocaust and would love for it to be stricken from the history books, so it will no longer be taught in schools.Nazis must be liberals,after all they want something removed from the history books.
Proper education is one of the cornerstones of society,specially history,since if we do not study it ,we cannot learn from our own mistakes and are condemned to repeat our mistakes.
The holocaust is not something to be joked about in any way.
It is part of my family history,that is, of what is left of my family.
so do me a favor and lay off.

Yeah, but will it keep them from voting for the party that gave them political correctness to begin with? Somehow I doubt it. For some unfathomable reason they will just write the root of it off just like rolmops did above and continue to punch their chads for the big D's.

Rolmops, your attempt to write this UK move off as no different from the neo-nazi's is quite pathetic. You can bet your bottom dollar, this scheme was not drafted by British Conservatives (if there are any of them left)

As evidenced by rolmops historical positions on issues and by virtue of the fact that American Jews, as well as Israeli Jews, overwhelmingly vote Liberal, I daresay that they will continue to vote for the Parties and the Ideologies that cozy up to the very entities that are dying to create a 2nd Holocaust.

[colour=blue]Rolmops, I'm sorry to have offended you here. I am also very sorry your family had a rough time in the 1930s and 1940s in Europe. Not all Liberals are the same: Rolmops, (especially ones who own and operate boats), and since you seem to agree, (on the main point) with me you could have pointed that out without escalating the rhetoric labeling my rants a "crusade", (another one of those Liberal hot words used to label people who dissagree with you). As to "hurtfull" that was unintended, as to "stupid", (I only have one brain cell, and I don't personally think my point was stupid: I think it was spot on), and furthermore: you seem to agree with me.[/colour]

Point in case.
Most neo nazis love to deny the holocaust and would love for it to be stricken from the history books, so it will no longer be taught in schools.

[colour=blue]News Flash: Rolmops you may not know this, (the way you are ranting here); but ANYONE with an ADJENDA OF CONTROL, (not just Neo Nazis): does not want information out that conflicts with their adjenda of control. Shocking: I know! Liberals do their best to dumb the education system down, (I don't know if that is their objective, or they are just being selfish and only want union workers for the power and money they bring to the Democrat party). I really don't know why British Liberals want this change, (I bet it is not Neo Nazis), I bet it is Liberals. [/colour]

Nazis must be liberals,after all they want something removed from the history books.

[colour=blue]Ya think?[/colour]

Proper education is one of the cornerstones of society,specially history,since if we do not study it ,we cannot learn from our own mistakes and are condemned to repeat our mistakes.

[colour=blue]I feel the same way Rolmops, so where is the disagreement? [/colour]

The holocaust is not something to be joked about in any way.

[colour=blue]I am not joking! I consider it a very serious n' dangerous Politically Correct Absurdity, (usually associated with PC Liberals so as not to OFFEND anyone).[/colour]

It is part of my family history,that is, of what is left of my family.
so do me a favor and lay off.

[colour=blue]I will do my best to avoid any light comments about the Holocaust, (I did not start this thread, I just agreed with JB's profound point about history), that you also apparently agree with. I never said any joking thing about the HOLOCAUST. I hope you are not trying to censor me by sicking the Mods on me like CJY tried to pull against 12 Footer. I respect you as a person, I am sorry your family suffered from the Holocaust, and I want all children to learn history so they can grow up to be critical thinkers. Respectfully JR[/colour]

Looks like eventually the UK will just be another muslim terrorist safe haven that we'll have to drop a nuke on.

That's sad.

[colour=blue]Now Rubber, You been sniffin' yer gas again. Although it is a corncern that there are sooo many Muslims in Britian, and even a greater corncern that the Muslims have not become good British subjects, (havin' been blessed to be there n' all). The likely hood of dropping a "Nuke" on our mother country is just not there, (ZERO chance) . You are gonna catch some flames on this one. I recommend retreat. (Let 'em know that your gas was sooo powerfull that ya even voted fer Bill Clinton against yer better judgement a while back).[/colour] 8)8) JR

Oooo, Froggy!! You may not have meant that as a troll but I think you typed it before thinking it out.

Comparing Nazi and Neo-Nazi with liberals is really far fetched. Their reasons are entirely different.

FWIW, neither of them have a monopoly on stupidity.

This thread has sadly sunken to a new low.
RubberFrog, your blustering rhetoric is very much akin to the politics of Ahmadinajad. :'(

And if you saw any seriousness in that then your uptightness is akin to Judge Judy 8)
