Sarkozy Holocaust plan sparks anger


Sarkozy announced the new curriculum Wednesday during a speech to France's Jewish community saying every French child should be "entrusted with the memory of a French child-victim of the Holocaust."

Holocaust curriculum

How would you feel if your child was made to get a personal feeling of how it was for a child their own age in the Holocaust. Isn't the fifth grade a bit to young to try and make kids relate to a genocidal event? I feel Sarkozy is a bit over the top on this one.

No matter what view you are presented, the main idea that it happened is what needs to be taught. I do not want my kid having to relate to the atrocities that happened as deeply as Sarkozy wants. That is a lot for a fifth grader to take in. Just making them aware of genocidal events is enough to scare the crap out of them and get the point across that Hitler was an evil dude.

Exactly I couldn't agree more but the problem lies in putting more emphasis on one attrocity than the littany of others perpetrated more recently such as Pol Pot in Cambodia, Mao Tse Tung in China, Tutsi and Hutu's in Namibia, Bosnia and just lately Kenya.

The emphasis should be that everywhere you look crimes against Humanity are commited and must be addressed NOW!! not reminisce to 60 years ago.....which takes your focus off issues affecting Humanity today.
