unsurprisingly from the mail, the article is making a mountain out of a molehill.
there is a massive curriculum in history and the teachers / departments / schools themselves decide which parts to teach and which not to. 2 schools next door to each other can teach entirely different curriculums and there is nothing illegal or wrong with certain schools choosing not to teach certain subjects whatever the reason.
the accounts of british history taught in england, scotland and northern ireland are completely different because of national sensitivities for example so as much as the tories at the mail would like to perpetuate the idea that it's just those evil brown folk who get preferential treatment, we all have experienced the same thing in high school.
btw 6 million is a fairly accurate number for holocaust victims.
