Why there might not always be an England...IX

"New curriculum will 'make every lesson politically correct'"

So the Daily Mail tells us on the 25th of January. How are they going to go about doing this?

In music and art, they could have to learn Indian and Chinese songs and instruments, and West African drumming
In maths and science, key Muslim contributions such algebra and the number zero will be emphasised to counter Islamophobia.

Of course according to this the "The oldest known text to use zero is the Jain text from India entitled the Lokavibhaaga, dated 458 AD", and "The rules governing the use of zero appeared for the first time in Brahmagupta's book Brahmasputha Siddhanta, written in 628."
Mohammad was still lopping off Jews' heads in 628 and had less time for higher mathematics then he probably would have wanted.
Plus will telling young people that the Muslims are responsible for Algebra reduce Islamophobia (whatever it is)?
But why should we let reality interfere with education.
A more prescient question would be 'why are they doing this?'

Under the recommendations - put forward in a report by former headmaster Sir Keith Ajegbo -teachers will be expected to make 'explicit references to cultural diversity' in as many subjects as possible.
Sir Keith, whose report was commissioned following last July's suicide bomb attacks in London, warned that pupils could become 'disaffected' and 'alienated' if they felt unable to discuss cultural issues in subject areas.

Aaahh I see.
They will no longer have the desire to massacre us by the thousands if we sit around on the floor with them playing West African drums and discussing the merits of a decimal based number system.
Interestingly enough Sir Keith, former headmaster of the Deptford Green School, also was responsible for this report.
