There is also resistance to tackling the 11th century Crusades - where Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem - because lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques. (from Teachers Drop the Holocaust to Avoid Offending Muslims)
Oh....
My....
Word....

The referenced article talks about schools in the U.K. who have stopped teaching the Holocaust because it might offend Muslims who deny the Holocaust happened.

I....I can't even BEGIN to describe how this makes me feel! I just can't understand what...why this is a good idea. Do we rewrite history to avoid offending people.

I just can't believe this.

I CAN believe it...remember, our heritage hails from a nation that basically started it's dissention from Papacy b/c the king wanted to hump a new bride. Believe that!

NOTHING anyone does surprises me anymore!
