This blurb appeared in the 12/03/07 Gazette:
"Some history classes in northern England have stopped mentioning the Holocaust, on grounds that it offends Muslim students, whose families claim that the Nazi extermination of Jews never happened. Good grief."

Deep Thoughts
Welcome To Reading, Writing, Blogging
I plan on using this with my classes, parents, friends, colleagues, etc., so that we might continue conversations about what we do, read, write, and think about in class. Thinking doesn't just happen in the classroom; it happens every where. So many times in the evenings I think about what I should have said, might have said, or think of a whole new idea and I want to share it with you. This is a way for us to continue thinking and doing. I hope that you are an active participant. I also wanted to state, this site isn't just for students. Our learning community expands far past just students and teachers. Parents, friends, co-workers, and community members are all part of our learning community.

Please keep in mind that I did not add this post to induce a hatred for those of the Muslim faith. That would defeat the whole purpose of studying Holocaust literature. I did post it because I found it interesting. I have a hard time getting my head around the fact that there are still people in this world that deny the history of the Holocaust when there is documented proof of the brutality.
