Teachers drop the Holocaust to avoid offending Muslims
2007-04-01
HT: LGF
Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, a Government backed study has revealed.

It found some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial.

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.

...The report said teachers feared confronting 'anti-Semitic sentiment and Holocaust denial among some Muslim pupils'.
