Are you ****ing kidding me? This is the stupidest thing i have ever herd of. I am so sorry that actually history interferes with what they believe.
This whole muslim thing and the holocaust really pisses me off. If it were the other way around and the holocaust was HItler killing a bunch of Muslims and the jews said it didn't happen the muslims would be furious. :angryfire:

This is ridiculous and pc has nothing to do with it. You can't blame muslims for teachers being cowards. At some point, people have to stand up and take responsibility for what they do. It shouldn't matter to a history teacher what a child is taught outside of the classroom. The teacher's responsibility is teaching accurate, important information in the classroom. You can't possibly teach history and leave out world war two and you can't teach about that without discussing the holocaust.
BTW, there already is a Holocaust memorial day in the UK. It is on January 27th, which marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet troops in 1945. Of course, the muslim council of Britain opposes it saying that the victims of the Holocaust shouldn't receive special attention. They've suggested replacing it with a genocide day to remember all victims of genocide. The Armenians complained about it too cause they don't have a special day. The problem I have with them is that they act like the Holocaust was only killing Jews. It wasn't. Slavs, communists, homosexuals, clergy, union activists, gypsies, the physically and mentally disabled... the list of those killed is much longer. Commemorating that event in history isn't about giving Jews special treatment. It's a tool to discuss genocide, racism, bigotry and human rights in general. I can't see why anyone would oppose that because they are still relevant issues today, as we've seen in Rwanda, Bosnia, etc.

As much as I admit the odd smack taught me about being a smartass (not that I stopped being one, just that I learned the important lesson on how to take a blow) and was a good life lesson...
The numbers do show that this "no beating" behaviour is reducing childhood delinquincy. While media circus makes it seem worse, youth violence and delinquincy is dropping like a stone.
While most people lived good wholesome childhoods 50 years ago, most do now. Its just not newsworthy to talk about another batch of kids being kids as they always have since time immemorial.
The point is ,while more publicised, fewer kids are deranged lunatics these days than in the past.

What???!!! Recent articles in major dailies insist youth violence is mushrooming. And these are major studies coming from well respected institutions. In Canada changes in the Youth Criminal Justice Act have made it onerous for police to process charges against youth the way they used to but that doesn't mean youth crime is abating; it merely means it's been channeled into alternative sentencing pools.

Agreed
I agree with you my friend. violence is not the way. First, a teacher has to understand the pyschology of the student. Than he/she needs to ask for advice of their parents. I saw in some turkish schools that there is a deparment called psychological analysis deparment which helps students' thoughts , feelings, and finding their paths. ( by the way I didnt want to be racist by talking about some Turkish schools)

This deserved this...
some coward said:
My startled opinion and questioning of what will be next, rated that juevenile demerit?
Good grief, whoever that was, you need to grow up.
