An American Jewish friend has claimed that the Holocaust has been struck from the curriculum in UK schools.


An American Jewish friend has claimed that the Holocaust has been struck from the curriculum in UK schools.?
It is being claimed that it has been removed as it "offends" the Muslim population who claim it never happened. Is there any truth in this statement? Claims to have originated from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

i dont know about that. it would be sad if true though.

Your Jewish friend is mistaken. An e-mail circulating said that they banned teaching it but it has been proven to be false. Maybe your friend is a little biased. It took me 5 seconds to google this and find out it wasn't true. He could've done the same.

I don't think it's true. Your friend probably misheard something.

Unfortunately, this is true. The UK government is so worried about being politically correct that they took the Holocaust out of the required curriculum.

Sigh- no, its not true. ONE school in the Uk removed it from its syllabus. Thats it one school out of the thousands in the country. And no- the claims originated from a bogus email that did the rounds on the internet a few months ago and was disproved then.
