don't think this is a reputable news site. Then again, most British news sites aren't.

Or is this Political correctness gone mad?

and they are afraid to teach about the crusades as well.

You guys over there have gone mad. At least we aren't afraid to teach about the mexican war to our immigrants.

What an un-American attitude. Next you'll say we should teach evilution in school.

But history is liberal arts crap anyway, so nobody needs to know about it

"In man's evilution, he's created the city
And the motor-traffic rumble,
But give me half a chance, and I'll be takin' off me clothes
And livin' in the jungle."

Reading the article, it seems more like: "Teachers allowed to not teach the holocaust." Which is still pretty bad.

You have a class on the holocaust?

[b etor]

Yes. Mrs P is obsessed with it. She's the only one that teaches it and gets really really involved. It's a one trimester class.

Daily. Mail.

I still don't know how to treat the Daily Mail. Is it a generally accurate, albeit right-wing biased news source like Fox News? Or is it a news source whose stories should never be taken at face value like the Telegraph?

It's a tabloid version of the Telegraph (If one were to take the Telegraph as a broadsheet).

I'm not really sure what the Telegraph's coverage of UK domestic news is like, though. All we see here is the coverage of Iraq, which has been pretty inaccurate...
