Note the curriculum doesn't exclude history lessons. It just re-prioritizes. It is just simply not important any longer to waste valuable columns in school books lauding the leaders of the past?

A child of 5 today has more factual knowledge in his brain than Churchill had in his whole life.

Can you explain that statement??





Why then must he be taught to be in AWE of a leader who just happened to be PM when the nutjob nazis invaded.
Actually Churchill didn't become Prime Minister until Chamberlain resigned in 1940 - you need to brush up on your British history!

Churchill and the British people stood alone against the might of the Third Reich through our darkest hour, and eventually triumphed, largely due to the inspiring leadership of Churchill.

It would be a huge mistake to dismiss Churchill as a historical accident.
