School guidance organisation ‘The Key’ has told teachers to present the British Empire to secondary school kids like Nazi Germany.

The Key began as a government backed initiative, and now provides teaching resources to more than 100,000 school leaders.

Its “anti-racism curriculum review” has been slammed for 'polluting formative young minds'.

Historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo blasts the decision, saying that it is "disgraceful" and "disrespectful" to people within the Empire who fought with Britain.

    I get why citizens of former colonies might hate the British. What I will never understand is why so many choose to live here given that we are allegedly a despicable race. I would have thought this country would be the last choice. I also have experienced immigrants living here declaring that they dislike the British, why come here???

    As an Indian, We still are proud of British legacy and the impact in our society, mainly Education and Healthcare which tops along with sociological changes.

    They never want to talk about the marxist empires though.
  • How is this poisonous bilge permitted in our schools? It just beggars belief.
  • I seem to remember hearing that Gandhi, when asked if his campaign to liberate India would have succeeded in Nazi Germany, replied no, or that at least it would have been very difficult with much suffering. Presumably more suffering than that involved in his dealing with the British.

    My late Sri Lankan gran advised me that out of all the coloniser (Dutch, Portuguese and British) it was only the British that didn’t use torture. And her husband, my grandad, fought for the British army against Nazis in WW2.

  • The British Empire is the greatest global trading area ever created by Mankind, it’s the foundation of every modern Western culture and what all the Third World countries aspire to. It is my ancestor’s gift to the world- A proud Englishman

    I will never understand why these people detest their own country, its history and culture.
  • If the Brits were so bad ,why have so many Commonwealth countries continued as such when they were able to be independent and ' Go their own way ' ?

    The Roman Empire was far more brutal than the British Empire but somehow gets treated far better by teachers.The "what have the Romans done for us" scene in "The Life of Brian" is funny because we were all taught the same good things about the Roman Empire at school.
  • This british bashing organisation has a address and staff.....they should be visited to rigorously debate these misguided slanderous claims
