Are schools making history lessons woke? 

Parents need to do something to stop this. Everyone is so scared to even broach the issue when everyone is thinking the same thing.

Every time you introduce ideology into the classroom you take time away from teaching maths, grammar and other topics. The Primary purpose of school is to Educate NOT to Indoctrinate - no wonder education standards are dropping.

Why are we allowing a minority to dictate to the majority?

The truth of history is the truth. You can’t change it good or bad. It is history. These people that want to erase it or change it should be denied. History is history and we all know it is good and not so good and that’s why we have progressed!

I find myself having to question my son, after his history lessons at school. Often i have to put him straight on things that i really shouldn't have to. The BBC history department is just as bad for telling non truths, just to tick diversity boxes!

Teachers should be made accountable. They are brainwashing our poor children at an alarming rate.

History repeats. As is happening right now. Decimation of human population.

If you rely on the government to monitor and control what is taught, what do you do when the government you approve of is not there and some woke Green or New New Labour gets in and has their hands on the control levers?

History is expanding as we change. You can’t change the past but for futures history it starts after it is the future history. The past history cannot be changed.

Probably well-intentioned? No, it is not.This is the mistake that enables these people to continually further their agenda.

no jab no job...how about tell the the truth or no job

Woke OUT.

Keep your politics at the school gates or you should be sacked

Yes 💯it is changing!Far too much too soon! I have 4 children 3grown 1 still young, and im honestly dumbfounded by the difference!?💔its SO important to know historIcal FACTS! Throwing all this doubt and judgement down younger minds is just cruel! I myself am feeling totally disconnected from history,my pasion,right now,everything ive ever believed I now dont know what the hell to believe?!where I was balanced and totally into our heritage!i m lost for truth! Alot feel the same way too!im not against anyone I had a balanced view,,bit now??? Not so sure...!:(

I now have to tell my English learners to beware a Western 'education'. It saddens me 'cos this was their dream.

Yes, my daughter got taught a very screwed version of slavery and Britain. She had no idea we abolished it. So I sat her down and got her to watch Sargons vid.

"Tolerance" is specifically contrary to Post-Modernist philosophies...

If you dont learn the facts of history then your doomed to repeat the same mistakes, rather then learn and grow.

Balanced interviewees and interviewing... More please and thank you.👍

I can promise you as an ex teacher from industry who tried to fight political correctness in the 180/90s that spawned Woke, failed, became ill and left due to bullying by senior teachers and LEA advisor - NOT ONE SINGLE teacher will be reprimanded, NOT ONE SINGLE sentence of Woke based teaching resources will be changed and NOT ONE SINGLE government produced guidance pamphlet will be read especially by Headteachers. When will people get into their heads our education system might as well be a totally and distinct country that is run by its self, for its self and for us to pay for it. Only a total reset with removals at very high levels, prosecutions, non-graduate teachers from industry as I was and effectively a cleansing and removal of all political bias materials (now pretty much of it), will 'begin' to change things.

History is political. We are taught a political history even about Europe and WWII . Yet if you study events in Europe from 1930 onwards you can clearly see that what is taught is a political view of those actual events, mainly be omission of things that don't fit the required narrative and image of some countries that is wished to be projected. The same applies to current events and those since 1970's. History is becoming more propaganda than it is historical fact.

Very important to preserve the books of old.

Why do you have to keep banding to every single tiny thing that is put forward it should be the COUNTRIES hystorical facts not over load them with the entire world . You will loose your own COUNTRIES identity.

History is a funny lesson, it allows me to make more detailed jokes

All sides of politics prefers their version of history. Read lots of books and seek the truth.

A very different Palestinian Israeli conflict is being taught now than what was taught 10 years ago.

Get David Starky on it

Theres plenty of fake history on tv and films that claim to be accurate. A lot of people dont know how to tell a good source from a bad one and propagte incorrect statments as facts. They also dont like to argue points for and against as a valid way to hash out the best move forward.

Anyone else seen the bbcs list of best books for 2022? It's a massive woke fest of nonsense

Bang up liars

Without doubt

Religious studies is 100% woke

If they are, IMO they started doing this as early as the early 1970s, and likely earlier than that. History has long since been a passion of mine, but I never took it past O'level. Even then what I was being taught was highly selective and concentrated far too much on what I saw as socialist propaganda. All kinds of assertions and assumptions were being rammed down my neck, which did not run true to my understanding of human nature, just how or why things actually happen in this world. I strongly suspected then that very little comes from the bottom-up, and that virtually everything comes from the top-down. We get what our owners wish or permit us to have, for whatever reason they wish to do so. If they wish to ignore us they will, if not, they won't. What we may think is a grassroots movement is rarely anything of the kind. What we may think is an act of God, or some kind of accident is rarely anything of the kind. Things such as World Wars don't just happen because some Austrian feather hat wearer got shot somewhere in the Baltics. Actually, I believe it was in the stomach area. That is a joke BTW. Yes, indeed the Bastards have been covering their tracks for much longer than many are conditioned to believe. History is written by the winners, which should provide an enormous clue as to where many of these Bastards reside or run their operations from.

COMMENT: The issues presented are reflective the the social demographics of an engineered society provisioned through academic means, in reconstructing realities through market forces, principally as a function of the generational changes taking place in work, as stresses thereof, as a change from command and control authoritarianism post war, to a pseudo flipflopping business environment between the politics of extreme markets to socialisms, manifest; and such informatics changes amplified through developments in technologies, as drivers for change, in provisioning such understanding at scale and pace......go figure.

believing in Jesuchrist we have salvation and eternal life believe in the place where you are with all your heart and mind read in the holy Bible in .. Jhon 3 : 16 , Romans 10 : 9 to 13 , Acts 4 : 12 , John 11 : 25 , John 1 : 12 , John 14 : 6

In a grammar school in Birmingham, teachers told white students to dress as slaves and told black students to dress as slave owners in order to re-enact a slave auction.

I don't think history "ought to be a celebration of who we are" or anything else other than looking into what happened, when, where and how. British schools shouldn't focus exclusively on British history but rather on interesting case studies from around the world. When and where did the notion of monarchy arise? How and why and with what has it been replaced in various parts of the world? What factors influenced the emergence, consolidation and eventual weakening of the sovereign nation state? How were major empires able to form, consolidate their power and finally be eclipsed by others? What do we mean by "democracy"? Where are its roots to be found? Where was it first implemented (not in Britain)? What has been the route towards universal suffrage and what factors have accelerated or prevented its introduction around the world? All of these issues and many more can be studied and taught with reference to both genders and various social divisions, castes and classes and with strict reference to primary and secondary sources. Ideology - whether geared towards a celebration of Britishness or the furthering of the so-called woke agenda - has absolutely no place in the study and teaching of history or any other discipline.

OMG I just realised something - Lets Go Brandon = LGB - hmm all it need is a "T" (Today)! - LGBT - OK lets all say LGBT!!! e.g. "I celebrate and support LGBT" - lets see if that one catches on...
