Statist insanity continues: British schools drop Holocaust from history lessons so as not to offend Muslims

A report by Britain’s Department for Education and Skills notes that an increasing number of schools are dropping the teaching of the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim students. The report, titled Teaching Emotive and Controversial History, also observes that many teachers are reluctant to discuss the Crusades because the lessons frequently contradict what is taught in local mosques.

It gets worse. The website Family Security Matters (h/t Weasel Zippers) reports:

In an effort to counter ‘Islamophobia’ in British schools, teachers now are required to teach ‘key Muslim contributions such as Algebra and the number zero’ in math and science courses, even though the concept of zero originated in India.

The article further notes that 30 non-Muslim students at Parkview Primary School in Scotland were required to visit a mosque in Glasgow. During the two-hour-long field trip, in April of 2012, the children were instructed in the practice of wudhu, ritual washing to make the supplicant worthy of prayer before Allah. Family Security Matters maintains that the students were also instructed in the recitation of the shahada, the Islam declaration of faith, which states, “There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger." A video of highlights of the trip can be viewed here.
