The more I think about this story, the angrier I get. Not teaching kids historical facts because it might contradict the propaganda they receive in their Mosques and therefore might offend them? Are you ---ing kidding me? That is precisely the reason why these subjects SHOULD be taught! That's it, I'm officially irate! Still, this does establish a precedent, so here is what I would propose:
Schools should immediately stop teaching the following subjects:
1) No teaching about the Manhattan Project because that would Japanese people.
2) No teaching about slavery in the United States, because this would offend white southerners.
3) No teaching about the Reformation, because this would offend Catholics.4) No teaching about the Spanish-American War, Mexican-American War, etc, because this offends Hispanics.
5) No teaching about either World War I or World War II because this offends Germans.
6) No teaching about the Earth being round, because this offends flat earth believers.
7) No teaching about the Cold War because this might offend Russians.
8) No teaching that pedophilia is wrong because that would offend NAMBLA members.
9) No teaching that France has contributed anything to world culture because that would offend anyone with a brain.
10) No teaching about Otto von Bismarck, because teaching about him would offend Danes, Austrians and the French.
11) No teaching about the Ottoman Empire because this would offend Armenians.
12) No teaching about Armenians because this would offend Turks.
13) No teaching about Columbus or the Puritans because this would offend Native Americans.
14) No teaching about Christianity, Islam, Judaism. Buddhism, Confucianism, or any other other religious "ism" because that would offend atheists.
Need I go on?
