Lessons on Churchill: Winston back on the curriculum as schools are told to teach history properly

• New curriculum published next week will cover major events from the Bronze age to the present day
• New syllabus says pupils need a chronological narrative of Britain’s history
• Pupils will be taught about historical figures such as Henry VIII and Queen Victoria

Winston Churchill will be restored to the national curriculum as schools are ordered to teach children about Britain’s history.

The national curriculum for history, to be published by Education Secretary Michael Gove next week, will give all children aged seven to 14 a clear narrative of the major events between the Bronze Age and the present day.

The document, seen by the Mail, will state clearly that every pupil must ‘know and understand the history of these islands as a coherent, chronological narrative, from the earliest times to the present day’.

He was banished from the curriculum in 1999.

The current national curriculum, last updated by Labour in 2007, leaves big gaps in pupils’ knowledge and ditched the learning of significant dates and events in favour of focusing on historical themes.

British institutions: Figures such as Henry VIII and Winston Churchill will be reinstated onto the history syllabus, which will be published next week. British history will take a more prominent role on the curriculum

Mr Gove is insisting that pupils learn about leading historical figures such as Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Oliver Cromwell and Queen Victoria.

Pupils aged 11 to 14 will also be expected to study ‘the Second World War and the wartime leadership of Winston Churchill’, the only modern politician who is mentioned.–Read more

MEMRI TV (Transcript below the fold)

The youtube entry claims “Britain Finally Starts To Wake Up”- which is overly optimistic.

Jack Straw is one of the chief engineers who enabled the Mohammedan invasion. His phoney equivocations and his idiotic weasel words should not help him dodge responsibility for the irreparable damage he caused.

Mohammed Shafiq is typically lying when he says ‘Islam has nothing to do with it’-Islam has everything to do with. Sex slavery is as Islamic as the kaaba in Mecca; because the profit of Islam did it. All his blather should be shoved up his arse!

KRudd has admitted in his usual evasive manner that his destruction of the Howard government’s successful border protection policy may have been an error.

Immigration policy was not “set in stone” and must be adaptive and flexible, he said. “If we’ve made a mistake . . . it was in perhaps not being quick enough to respond to the new change in external circumstances….”

The Camp of the Saints is a novel about population migration and its consequences.

Melilla: Illegals Threaten to Throw Two Babies into Sea If Their Boat Was Intercepted

About thirty immigrants arrived in Melilla today on board a small boat. There were four children among the occupants, two of them very young. They can scarcely have been two years old and couldn’t even walk, but they were the key to the boat obtaining its objective of disembarking in the autonomous city. (Islam vs Europe has more)

The Obama administration called for the leadership in Egypt to include the Muslim Brotherhood in the political process.
Bloomberg reported:

The Obama administration’s call for an “inclusive” political process in Egypt with a role for the Muslim Brotherhood has been overshadowed by deadly clashes between security forces and supporters of the Islamist group.

Pamela is right to ask:

WTH is he doing?

The President had no public schedule July 3, July 4, July 5, July 6, July 7, July 8, July 9, July 10, July 11, July 12, July 13, July 14, July 15, July 16, July 17, July 18, July 19, July 20, July 21 (it goes on and on) — he has nothing scheduled for the summer. What the hell does this man do? I don’t expect him to be a Lincoln (even though he compares himself to him). Lincoln would meet and talk to Americans every day of his Presidency. This is absurd.

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.–Voltaire

Leftards are insane.

” Voltaire but he never had the benefit of going to Auschwitz and seeing where unfettered free speech ends up.”

This is a cross-post from Harry’s Place and Jacobinsm

So, apparently responsibility for the Shoah lies with this most noble defence of liberty and tolerance rather than a fascist regime not noticeably overburdened with a fondness for either. Anyone under the impression that pre-war Nazi Germany suffered from a surfeit of free expression – or a surfeit of freedom of any kind for that matter – would do well to revisit the topic and reacquaint themselves with the facts.

The broader parallel being drawn – that pre-war persecution of European Jewry is somehow analogous to what is called ‘Islamophobia’ in the West today – is no less stupid.  (read it all)

Coming back to Voltaire:

The quote “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” may be (mis)attributed to French Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire; but the following one is not:

“But that a camel-merchant should stir up insurrection in his village; that in league with some miserable followers he persuades them that he talks with the angel Gabriel; that he boasts of having been carried to heaven, where he received in part this unintelligible book, each page of which makes common sense shudder; that, to pay homage to this book, he delivers his country to iron and flame; that he cuts the throats of fathers and kidnaps daughters; that he gives to the defeated the choice of his religion or death: this is assuredly nothing any man can excuse, at least if he was not born a Turk, or if superstition has not extinguished all natural light in him.”

One wonders if the enlightened progressives at Harry’s would have  reported Voltaire to the Home Office to ban him from entering Britain.

A Muselman arrested after a suitcase  (with a bomb) was left at Liverpool’s main mosque is actually Somalian and not Danish, as police previously stated.

Merseyside Police have just confirmed that the 22-year-old man, who was cautioned and released following the incident, is in fact from Somalia not Denmark.

WTF?  They released him?

Two controlled explosions were carried out after the suspect package – feared to be a bomb – was left at the Al Rahma mosque, in Mulgrave Street, Toxteth on Sunday evening.

Miraculous Transformation

Canuck Terror suspects are ‘not Muslims’

Stereotypical lying (taqiyya) after every terror attack: “Real Muslims would never blow up shiite….”

More from Mullah:

… “These people who killed and bombed are not Muslim. They gave Islam a bad name. Quran never gives you a right to kill. You have no right to kill people,” said Sarkar.

Infidels who haven’t read the Koran are urged to do so. Sarkar is lying.

Muslims are victims (of Islamic terrorism)

After the 9/11 attacks, many Muslim-Americans say they were bullied and labeled as terrorists.

(which their religion commands them to be)

“All I want to say is people open up because everyone is equal – there is no Muslim, Christian, Jew, they are all just human beings and the Quran says learn to love everyone,” said Sarkar.

Hmm, I must have missed that sura. I have many Koran translations, but this one seems to be the one Muhammad’s goat ate…..
