// I hope they can't just say the Holocaust was a bad thing, they must be ordered to quote David Irving's views in order to be balanced and impartial. //
But David Irving doesn't take the opposite view to "holocaust was a bad thing" - he claims it never took place, in flat contradiction to the Nazi government's own record keeping. your assertion is flawed.

Late as usual - sorry. I am a retired teacher. So far as I have read this initiative I am very pleased that it is trying to interpose to remind current staff of the basic rules.
We were always enjoined and expected to teach without expressing bias. As a simple e.g. when I taught about the slave trade I also taught about the 'white slavery' going on in the mills at the same time.
Impartiality was a duty and I do not remember this being rescinded. perhaps it has not been made plain enough to the younger people who entered the profession. I am very, very glad that this is now being addressed.

Just read back and it seems that the Holocaust has been raised. I have never taught that it was anything other than horrific. I have tried to explain how it came about and the attitudes and circumstances that brought it about. No-one could teach that it never happened and that in itself it was so appalling. If anyone tried - he/she should be sacked.
