History Examinations.

Bad news: Professor Robert Tombs, a history fellow at St John¿s College, Cambridge, said it was ¿difficult to name¿ a European country that taught the subject so poorlyOur history lessons are 'worst in West': Failing curriculum needs overhaul, says academic (Mail)

Youngsters are taught a ‘miscellany of disconnected fragments’ and examined on barely anything before 1870, Professor Robert Tombs claimed, missing out on vast swathes of British, European and world history.
IT'S ALL PART OF THAT WELL-DEFINED LEFTIST PLOT TO DE-ANGLICISE THE NATION AND A DIRECT LINE MAY BE DRAWN TO PERNICIOUS MULTI-CULTURALISM.
COULD WE HAVE 'INTEGRATION' BACK, PLEASE?

Phew.
