More PC Run Amok

[Hobbit]

A Muslim run school in the UK has textbooks that describe Jews as apes and Christians as pigs, and that's probably the least offensive part of them. There's a fight to see if these books are offensive enough to be taken out of the curriculum. The story broke as a result of an unfair dismissal claim when a teacher questioned the textbooks. Can we imagine what would have happened if the textbooks had similar claims about Muslims, blacks, or hispanics?

The teacher that questioned the books will now be targeted for assassination and will have to go into hiding.

Wonderful. Gotta love the Brits.

Unfortunately, i could see the same kind of thing happening here and be championed as "ultimate diversity."
