Sarkozy Caves on Teaching Holocaust

Speechless. Completely speechless. When I ran the article of Sarkozy's standing up to the Jew haters, I never thought he would back down. It's a history lesson for Gd's sake. It happened. The asshats over at the EMDH children's rights group said: "No educational project should be constructed on death." Really? I guess they won't be conducting any history classes anymore. At least not any historically accurate ones.

Shakes head, walks away.


Sarkozy Drops Holocaust Education Plan Israel National News (hat tip Carolyn)

(IsraelNN.com) French President Nicolas Sarkozy has dropped his proposal to teach the Holocaust to children following a wave of protests from left wing politicians. He told the annual conference of the French Jewish umbrella group last month that every pupil should be assigned a name of a Jewish deportee during the Nazi rule and then research the family. Critics objected to the plan, arguing that it would cause schoolchildren to suffer trauma.

The government will explore other avenues to "encourage children in classrooms to look at, not other children in particular, but rather a given situation in a given city," according to former government minister and Auschwitz survivor Simone Veil. He agreed with opponents of the proposal, saying it was "unimaginable, unbearable and unjust."
