What do you think about the school that refuses to teach the Holocaust?

Question

Beacause they don't want to confront their Anti-Semitic students?

Should they teach the Holocaust anyways? Aren't schools supposed to TEACH people, whether students agree with is or not?

Answer 1

It's proven history, not a theory, and it should be included.

Answer 2

I'd start an uproar, public and all. This is unacceptable. Why molly coddle a small group of students because of how they feel about Jewish people. Thats ignorant and stupid. But with the political correct nonsense in schools today and they not being allowed to teach social norms, and responsibilities and religion, what does one expect. Its time for the people to take back the public schools or shut them down.

Answer 3

I wonder if they believe there's anything going on in Darfur.

While it is possible that Israelis secretly want their neighbors destroyed, it's no secret that Israel's neighbors want Israel destroyed. Iran's president has said so. The PLO and Hamas' organizational charters say so.

So if Israel is out to destroy their neighbors, how come they gave back so much of the land seized in the wars, including the Sinai peninsula twice?

And finally, if you want some evidence of the truth of the Holocaust, you can visit the former sites of the concentration camps in Germany, some of which have been preserved as museums. There you can see the records of the people that were interned there, and their fates. If you want to talk to people that were there, visit a NYC synagogue. There are still some people there with tattoos from the camps.

You don't have to be anti-semitic to deny the Holocaust, just being stupid will do.

Answer 4

is not just "islamic invaders" who are anti-semetic plenty of white christians are as well. The school's justification for not teaching Holocaust material is because it is a "debateable topic" (which is completely ludicrous). Much like a school will not teach about evolution because it is another "debateable topic" (ludicrous) . Schools don't want to delve into topics that are going to create an uproar from parents (which is retarted).

Answer 5

You can't teach people if they choose not to learn! They are so used to being lied to, therefore, this makes them unable to think for themselves. If it suits their agenda, & they are content living in their bubble, why bother? The same with the people that believe the original 9/11 story, yet university professors choose not to debate the original story probably out of fear for their lives, which the original story is so far fetched, but people choose to believe it, only because it suits them & they are unable to think for themselves, and rather follow public opinion. I know for a fact that the Halocaust happened, as my cousin keeps in contact with on of the survivors, & my aunt has been to the original Auchiwitz camp back in the 70's & I have seen the black & white photos she took of the ovens & shoes, to deny that this ever happened is cowardness, as we can never let our guard down, or allow for this to ever happen again anywhere.

Answer 6

it was ridicluous AND ILLEGAL (the holocaust is part of the history syllabus in the national curriculum)

I can understand there just trying to avoid a conflict and they probably wouldnt want to do this in an ideal world, but it's pathetic cowing and pandering of the worst kind, theres really no excuse for it at all...

Answer 7

That is crazy. We teach the past in hopes that it won't repeat it self. What are they thinking. People do stupid things mostly due to ignorance so why keep or children uninformed. I thought you were supposed to go to school to learn not be brainwashed by only telling them what you want them to hear.

Answer 8

In historical terms it's called revisionism.
Make believe it didn't happen and it will go away.
12 million people were killed in germany.
6 million were jewish, the other 6 non-"fitting".

You can't and shouldn't. as responsible members of society ignore the scope and impact to mankind of that.

Answer 9

they are not a school, i wouldnt want my child to attend there knowing that they are recieving a "limited education". i mean whats the point. might as well just print out a diploma and get it over with

Answer 10

Yes they should teach it, they teach everything else. It did happen it is a part of our history.

Answer 11

Is there a law that states that they teach this fable called the holocaust. It has nothing to do with the confrontation of Anti-Semitic people, are not the Israelis anti-semitic too, I believe that they are just look how they want their neighbors destroyed!!!!
