Britain has not Banned Holocaust Teaching
Saturday February 16, 2008
The British government has had to issue an official denial to an internet myth/rumour which has spread across the world in recent months. The myth claims that Britain has banned the teaching of the Holocaust (the systematic murder of six million Jews by Nazi Germany and collaborators from other nations) in schools for fear of offending Muslims. This is, of course, completely false, but enough people believed it and sent complaints (and let’s be realistic, if it was true it would deserve the complaints) to British media and government that an official denial was needed.

Why would it ‘deserve’ the complaints? it has been proven, multiple times, that your quoted six million figure is wrong, and, in addition, many people were killed, not just jews, so, consider this as my formal complaint of your biased and officially untrue article.
I would like to issue formal complaints all over the world that the teachings of the German holocaust are one sided and tremendously overblown. In addition, there have been many holocausts throughout history that are not taught, why should this particular one deserve all the attention? If we are to learn about one, why not all?
this “formal complaint” is in contrast to what?
An “informal” complaint?
one sided? what is the other side? has SA been to germany?
“officially”? – see comment about formal, ditto.
why not all? 6,000,000 jews, 500,000 homosexuals, 500,000 roma. unfortunately the germans kept perfect records of what happened, bad luck.
Is this the official website for “formal complaints” about stuff?
I am indeed ‘confused’
