Iraq: teachers told to rewrite history

[Fireweed247]

Britain's biggest teachers' union has accused the Ministry of Defence of breaking the law over a lesson plan drawn up to teach pupils about the Iraq war. The National Union of Teachers claims it breaches the 1996 Education Act, which aims to ensure all political issues are treated in a balanced way....

At the heart of the union's concern is a lesson plan commissioned by an organisation called Kids Connections for the Ministry of Defence aimed at stimulating classroom debate about the Iraq war.

In a "Students' Worksheet" which accompanies the lesson plan, it stresses the "reconstruction" of Iraq, noting that 5,000 schools and 20 hospitals have been rebuilt. But there is no mention of civilian casualties.

In the "Teacher Notes" section, it talks about how the "invasion was necessary to allow the opportunity to remove Saddam Hussein" but it fails to mention the lack of United Nations backing for the war. The notes also use the American spelling of "program".

And people are worried about what parents teach in homeschooling?

2. Yes, the American spelling of "program" is "pogrom".

Gosh, Imagine an invasion with no civilian casualties. Ain't we something?

3. Pro bush propaganda

In American schools they just pass out pro Bush propaganda as "reading materials".
They are already rewriting History. I was shocked to see a "history" book by Lynn Cheney the other day...scary!
