    My 7 year old is being taught about WW2... being half Japanese this is messing him up.In true English propaganda its being boiled down to "goodies and baddies".

    There is a generation being taught about the holocaust before they can walk across the road unaided .....

    I'm writing a letter asking if they will teach about English colonialism and starting illegal wars.

    Fuck sake whats wrong in learning about good old Roman pillaging. At least he will understand where my huge nose comes from!

      I'm not saying to cotton wool kids up. History should be taught and its complexities explained and explored.      mugwart
    • but the English don't do this. We have rose tinted glasses of history. Guess I'm a 'conspiracist' but still. 7 years old... that age I had king aurthurmugwart
    • It was a foregone conclusion that Japan was going to surrender. The nukes were probably for Russia's sake.i_monk

    • @yuri - I have often thought about home schooling but I'm in no situation to do this.
      @hotroddy - I would have him learn history is complex and interweaving.      mugwart
