UK Schools: Churchill Out, Vegetarianism In

For those who sense the decline of the best traditions of civil society in their gut but are hard pressed to point out direct evidence, once in a while we get the real deal, the hard evidence that reveals the erosion, nay, willful destruction of our heritage's virtuous elements. Today comes news of just such evidence. Even if you are not a Churchill fan, you should at least be for the vigorous and rigorous teaching of history to children.

Why I should be up in arms about this I don't know, this has been happening in our country too, albeit stealthily. Subjects such as the founding era and great figures such as Washington and Jefferson have been taking a backseat to trendy hogwash for a while now. I guess it is just the brazen arrogance of the education establishment that gauls me, that they can issue edicts whitewashing major elements and figures of history.
