British Teachers “Scared” To Teach Students About 9/11, Worried They Will “Offend” Muslim Parents…

From the Telegraph:

Some teachers are too scared to discuss 9/11 with their pupils as they fear a backlash from Muslim parents, a leading expert in counter-extremism education has warned. 

Kamal Hanif OBE, who was appointed by the Government to turn around three schools at the heart of the “Trojan Horse” scandal, said that some teachers have a “misplaced” concern that they will cause offence if they raise 9/11 in the classroom. 

He said that some teachers – particularly those who work in schools with a high proportion of Muslim students – see it as a contentious topic and shy away from teaching it. 

“Teachers sometimes have a fear that this might be controversial,” he said. “[They think] if we teach about this we might get Muslim parents objecting.”
