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.
