UK: Teachers ‘scared’ to teach lessons on 9/11 terror attack, as they fear ‘backlash’ from Muslim parents

43

After Pearl Harbor, were teachers “scared” to teach about Japanese militarism and Nazi atrocities? No, because the UK and US hadn’t let into their countries large numbers of people who sympathized with the enemy, and who authorities thought had to be appeased and accommodated at all costs. The madness that has overtaken us now was nonexistent then.

“Teachers ‘scared’ to teach lessons on 9/11 terror attack,” by Camilla Turner, Telegraph, September 9, 2017:

Some teachers are too scared to discuss 9/11 with their pupils as they fear a backlash from Muslim parents, a leading expert in counter-extremism education has warned.

Story continues below advertisement

Kamal Hanif OBE, who was appointed by the Government to turn around three schools at the heart of the “Trojan Horse” scandal, said that some teachers have a “misplaced” concern that they will cause offence if they raise 9/11 in the classroom.

He said that some teachers – particularly those who work in schools with a high proportion of Muslim students – see it as a contentious topic and shy away from teaching it.

“Teachers sometimes have a fear that this might be controversial,” he said.

“[They think] if we teach about this we might get Muslim parents objecting.”

Mr Hanif, who is executive principal of Waverley Education Foundation and has advised the Department for Education (DfE) on combating counter-extremism in schools, said that such views are misguided.

“There is a fear [among teachers] but it is not really grounded in anything,” he said.

“It is based on their stereotypical view of a community as opposed to the reality. It is very misplaced. It is an assumption.”

His comments come ahead of the 16th anniversary of 9/11, which saw 2,997 killed when Al-Qaeda launched a series of coordinated terrorist attacks after hijacking planes and crashing them into the World Trade Centre complex and the Pentagon.

Mr Hanif is a trustee for the educational charity Since 9/11, which provides free teaching resources about the attacks and their aftermath.

The resources, which are endorsed by the Department for Education and the Home Office, are aimed at secondary school children, but the charity is now developing a new set of materials for primary schools.

Sir Steve Lancashire, the chief executive of a multi academy trust which which is piloting the materials in its 55 primary schools, said a lot of teachers feel “uncomfortable” about the legacy of 9/11.

“We need to address the nervousness of teachers to teach this kind of subject. Teacher don’t feel well equipped on facts – there are a lot of conspiracy theories, a lot of misinformation,” he said.

The superhead said teachers are scared that they will be accused by their students of being Islamophobic if they try to teach about 9/11 and its legacy….

You can’t win and hope to learn any proper lessons from that terror attack with this kind of attitude. Would be better just to disband these schools that to prove before your children than you are nothing but coward!

Brits who elected their Loony Leaders have no one but themselves to blame. Now even the Left/liberal Loon in CANADA seems to agree that TRUMP was Right http://bit.ly/2wy0R3s

WHILE Trump is getting Mc Mastered into following obama’s failed policies on Islam and jihad.

For the record, the political left in Britain has been teaching variations on the theme of “class war” in classrooms for at least 40 years now, some of those “teachers” are as ignorant of factual history as the children, and all efforts are being made to see that continues, unless your children are in private school of course.

History, if it’s taught in the state sector is always taught through a “political prism”, a left one naturally.

Vote for US on the left {and all your cares will vanish}.

And the subservient sheep of the britistinian isles are so brow beaten and cowardly that they cannot and will not stand for decency, dignity and fair play. It is a tribute to pure cowardice that the indigenous people of britanistan have had every trace of courage, integrity and intelligence inbred out of them. The results in englandistan are proof that inbreeding causes stupidity.

Why do the voters of britanistan continually elect muslims, their sympathizers and outright idiots to every elected office in the government? It is now at the point that the ballot box is not a tool of democracy, alternative methods will be required, or continue being subservient to islam.

I wish I knew why Brits elect muslims, maybe because of being faithful to the political party they traditionally vote fwithout realizing the slow but steady muslim infiltration, I am of course talking about Labour. I don’t know how many muslims have infiltrated the Conservatives or the LibDems, but Labour HAS been taken over by muslims, their sympathizers and other Jew haters like the extreme leftwinger Corbyn.
Although the cancer of islam is destroying Britain, the Brexit may be a new therapy so to speak, aswell as a first step to stopt muslim immigration and to recover independence. Juncker, Timmermans and Merkel among other vampires want of course a bloody revenge and punish the Brits for the nerve of rejecting the “Brussels” dictatorship and the jurisdiction of the “European Court of Justice,” over Britain that was in my humble opinion a good first step. An English friend of mine told me that Britain has had very difficult moments, particularly during the daily bombings by the nazis during WW2 and that they didn’t surrender back then.
Now having the enemy inside the country makes this resistance more difficult, but hopefully one day a bunch of corageous people will arise and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
I never thought that East Germany would collapse the way it did. But once the people had enough no one could stop the fall of the ruthless communist regime. The snag is that all Germans in East and West have been betrayed by the Merkel camarilla.
Although I have always opposed the death penalty for fear of executing an innocent person, Merkel and all the traitors should be indicted for HIGH TREASON and dealt with accordingly.
It is half aminute to twelve.
Pamela Geller, Geert Wilders, Brigitte Gabriel, Nigel Farage, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and other corageous individuals are my hope,
Reading your comments make my day too.
Much love from the Netherlands from

“Exactly how do we combat this since in your opinion Mahou Shoujo (Possible Islamic sympathizing/supporting/promoting Muslim yourself are we! you appear to be such an educated ignorant imbecile with such vigour & hate for “Britanistan grovelling snivelling submissive slaves to Islam, There is not a pair of balls or a single backbone entire nation” You keyboard warrior you Educate yourself ignorance is bliss you have time to type do you read anything in relation to the majority of lack of freedom to voice anything factual educational about the politics & the EU policies. ruining the UK economy & ruling the sheeple who are unable to protect in any way or voice their concerns without being arrested losing their job & job & even their children for being an Islamophobic far right extremist you seem to be such an expert you educate us spineless balls-less Brits you ignorant Muslim loving (I personally find your Constantly negative anti British comments an insult)”.
Who are the voters in britainsitan? Who are the party members of the political parties? Who do the elected representatives in government report to, who and what are they accountable for? You stand around pissing and moaning about being insulted, you behave like cowardly serfs, grovelling in a manure filled gutter whenever a muslim on the high horse you bought and paid for them, rides by.

Yes, yes, of course, still living in the past, do tell all about Fran Drake and his exploits, and the reward he got for his trouble, how about the brilliant british escapades at Dunkirk? Wanna discus the civilized british behaviour that occurred during and incident in India, historically referred to as the “black hole of Calcutta”? The atomic attack on Japan was all in good fun, wasn’t it? You are a fossilized bit of excrement that cannot and will not deal with the present situation, as you know you and your fellow poultry voted for it democratically. You were played as suckers, pimps to islam and unpaid whores. What will you tell your children, they might well want a word with you as to why you gave their inheritance and heritage to imported welfare recipient muslims. What will you tell your children? That multiculturalism is the way of the future? Tomorrow will be better? There is no fool like an englishstinian fool.

In Los Angeles, CA, just last month there was a face-off between Koreans and Japanese over a public statue portraying a Korean comfort woman.

The statue will stay, history must not be re-written, even if the facts shed a negative light on the past. Japan was stupid, it learned it’s lesson, it is now time to move on and illustrate that knowledge.
If brain dead feminists want to do something useful, they should build a park somewhere with statues dedicated to the memory of women everywhere who were sacrificed in this manner.

There has not been one single arrest but a whole country was destroyed. Make that two and a gowdamn war was started and it was even the WRONG country, er make that two countries.

UK government seem to be copying the UN for some time now…

The UN, has 57 muslim countries in it making it effectively a threat to world peace.

With existing UN or new departments set up to supposedly counter various human rights attrocities, which are allmost allways things taught and allowed in islam, they appoint a muslim to head the group and normally from a muslim country where they have the highest record of abuses…. nothing gets done of course to sort it out.

UK government appoints who to sort those schools out? a muslim.

May appointed who to chair the group investigating sharia courts in the uk? a muslim…

Over 250,000,000 murdered in the 1400 years Islam swept across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe; most of these deaths by the sword. Many, many more enslaved and subjugated.

The last Islamist Caliphate ended less than 100 years ago.

1400 shocking years of Islam in 5 minutes:

Over 150,000,000 murdered by Marxism in the 20th Century alone; billions subjugated and enslaved.

And now they lock arms.
