Pakistani Muslims. Atheism and evolution. Video games. Video games. Not enough guns. Not enough gun control. Stageplays. Racial hatred. Girlfriends. “Rich kids,” “debauchery” and “deceitful charlatans.”

I put this out as a challenge to my users. Spread this post far and wide so we can collect as many pointing fingers as possible. 20? 50? 100?

Fiction?

Nope, fact. Some teachers in the UK won’t be teaching about the Holocaust because it may offend Muslim students.

This is, in a word, horseshit. You can deny the Holocaust all you want, but you’d be patently wrong. Go right ahead and believe that the Holocaust didn’t happen, but the truth is it did. Get your religious beliefs out of fact-based classes. Believe it all you want at home, but keep it out of history classes.

Excellent rants against this behaviour can be found at Mike’s Weekly Skeptic Rant and Pharyngula.

Like Mike says:

People are free to believe any retarded, helmet-headed, drool-inducing, third chromosome ideas they want to, but don’t even think about including them in schools or deleting solid history or science because it conflicts with the shit you just made up.
