This is only a standout case because of the reasons given. To choose what to teach because it might offend people of a certain religion is ridiculous. However, the actual action is not unusual; the only example given is a school choosing not to take the option of teaching the Crusades, and choosing not to do GCSE coursework on the Holocaust. There are optional elements to the History curriculum in Britain; unless somethings changed in the last few years, the Crusades are optional; a school can choose to study that or something else. The Holocaust has to be studied, and I'm sure it was at this school, but they just didn't choose to do coursework on it. That's not unusual; I did my GCSE coursework on Northern Ireland. It's not a case of the school ignoring the curriculum, but a case of a school making their choices for the wrong reason. I am almost certain that the Holocaust has to be studied at some point, unless that's changed in the last couple of years.
