British Teachers: Don't Teach Patriotism

If western civilization fails, it will be the fault of its teachers.

Patriotism should be avoided in school lessons because British history is “morally ambiguous”, a leading educational body recommends.

History and citizenship lessons should stick to the bare facts rather than encouraging loyalty to Britain when covering subjects such as the Second World War or the British Empire, the Institute of Education researchers said. Teachers should not instill pride in what they consider great moments of British history, as more shameful episodes could be downplayed or excluded.


Unfortunately, if civilization fails, there won't be anyone to write the history. Islamism opposes any education other than the Koran.
