This really is unbelievable. I don’t understand how we can so easily, as a society, disregard the truth. It happened, it is our history. I can understand on a personal level, why teachers may drop it out of fear or maybe it is what they believe (not condoning it), but how can we as a society not be outraged.
This is the danger of political correctness and not being grounded in the truth. Once everything is grey, you have no anchor, and eventually you have drifted so far that you have no idea, where or what the truth is. That is progressivism by definition. Everything is grey and we evolve step by step, no need for an anchor, we have evolved beyond the need for one.
God teaches us something very different. He is very clear that we need a Rock to ground ourselves on, and it is Him.
Luke 6:46-49 – “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”
Christ also warned us of these days and that this would happen. He said it would be “like in the days of Noah” and “in the days of Lot”. He warned of deception and for us to be watchful, so that we are not mislead.
Luke 17:26-30 – “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”
By forcing us, through fear, to change history and ignore the truth, are they not forcing deception on future generations? That is what is so evil about any effort to alter history and the truth.
We must build our foundation on the Word of God and put our trust in Jesus Christ. He will be coming back for us soon. Stay watchful, and do not be deceived. Read his word daily for strength and guidance. We have forgotten that as a society, we have bought into the lie that we have progressed beyond it. That was our first misstep. Just like our ancestors Adam and Eve…

Teachers drop the Holocaust to avoid offending Muslims

Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, a Government backed study has revealed.
It found some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial.
There is also resistance to tackling the 11th century Crusades – where Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem – because lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques.
The findings have prompted claims that some schools are using history ‘as a vehicle for promoting political correctness’.
The study, funded by the Department for Education and Skills, looked into ’emotive and controversial’ history teaching in primary and secondary schools.
It found some teachers are dropping courses covering the Holocaust at the earliest opportunity over fears Muslim pupils might express anti-Semitic and anti-Israel reactions in class.
The researchers gave the example of a secondary school in an unnamed northern city, which dropped the Holocaust as a subject for GCSE coursework.
The report said teachers feared confronting ‘anti-Semitic sentiment and Holocaust denial among some Muslim pupils’.
It added: “In another department, the Holocaust was taught despite anti-Semitic sentiment among some pupils.
“But the same department deliberately avoided teaching the Crusades at Key Stage 3 (11- to 14-year-olds) because their balanced treatment of the topic would have challenged what was taught in some local mosques.”
