"Neutrality" required in Holocaust lessons?
We read:
"A Jewish French history teacher said Tuesday that she had been suspended for spending too much time teaching her pupils about the Holocaust and for organising trips to former Nazi death camps.
A lawyer acting for Catherine Pederzoli, a 58-year-old secondary teacher in the eastern town of Nancy, said her client had been accused by administrators of teaching the World War II massacres with insufficient "neutrality".
A copy of the report, seen by AFP, accuses Pederzoli of "lacking distance, neutrality and secularism" in teaching the Holocaust and of manipulating her charges through a process of "brain-washing".

My guess is that some of her pupils were Muslims -- whose antisemitic views must not be offended.
The French themselves have always been pretty antisemitic too. Witness the Dreyfus affair and the willingness of the French to round up Jews for Hitler.
President Sarkozy has some Jewish ancestry, however, though he is himself a Catholic

It's because almost all western countries have foolishly adopted the pc concept of "multi-culturalism" so that no one race, religion or culture predominates in theory regardless of the facts.

Dwelling on the holocaust is maybe to make us feel "holier than thou" when it concerned another society. Human nature in given social circumstances can result in similar, and does even now in parts of the world, and may always do so.
