Jewish teacher suspended in France for teaching 'too much' about Holocaust

A high school history teacher is accused of 'brainwashing' her students, says French news agency AFP.

A French history teacher in Nancy, France, has been suspended for breaching the principle of secularism and neutrality after the French education ministry concluded that she was teaching "too much" about the Holocaust and spending too much time organizing trips for her students to Nazi death camps in Poland and the Czech Republic.

Catherine Pederzoli, 58, was investigated by officials at the education ministry, who released a report about the matter in July. The report accused the teacher of "lacking distance, neutrality and secularism" in teaching the Holocaust, and of manipulating her charges through a process of "brain-washing," according to the French news agency AFP.

Interesting article in that it shows how the French state describes the Holocaust as a religion. Further more, the Jewish teacher has been proven to be using brainwashing techniques to inculcate the Holocaust in young French minds.

While it is important to teach children history and to be aware of injustices, focusing them exclusively on the suffering of one people is tantamount to indoctrination and religious preaching. People are suffering today but for the young people in the article they are only concerned about the suffering of 60 years ago.

If you are to present the Rwanda Genocide or even the the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people from their lands, would these brainwashed French students show any compassion for these victims? This is something worth exploring and the French education system should deploy psychologists to examine the damage caused by excessive Holocaustism.

I think that when it is accepted that the suffering of group of people is not more important than another there will be peace in this world. It is shocking that on one hand we mourn the Holocaust and on the other disregard the many holocausts since then.
