Since the USA is the size of Europe, I'd have to say they have a lot of their own continent to see before looking at ours!

Anyway, how much do you know about North American history? Or African, or Asian? Do YOU happen to speak another language with any semblance of fluency, or do you expect everyone to speak English?

Pompous arrogance isn't only an American problem.

No, in your case clearly not. As a matter of fact I know that I have a better knowledge of American history based on the now ex step children and their friends there. The plain fact is that few Americans have any idea about any other nation. A TV news broadcast there will be local news (within a few counties let alone the whole state) and National news as long as it's either very bad or very good. Just about the only foreign news they get is either a Royal marriage failure or a major disaster, if there's no American connection you get nothing.

The fact that so many English people get confused with Australians is another sign. With the exception of PBS their terrestrial television shows virtually nothing that isn't made in the US, hence they can't distinguish accents and quite often think you're speaking a different language.

Given the amount of influence the US has on the rest of the world I think their insular ways are not a good thing.

I hope for their sakes that Bushy's children don't grow up to be as pig ignorant as him.

Surely it is important to focus on British history in school, rather than Black American history?

Having a good working knowledge of British history helps kids understand about our sites of national and cultural heritage, our politics, the importance of buildings and architecture. It also helps give a sense of value of what we've got, who we are and where we've come from.

I think too much can be made of the need to study other faiths, histories and global stuff, and not enough importance placed on things at home - our history, our environment, our health and our society.

You need to look at the topics covered in the national curriculum. History is about 80% British with some projects on foreign history to give your children A ROUNDED EDUCATION YOU DIMWITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The problem is you have to have as wide a range as possible in order to teach kids the key skills that history involves - its not simply indoctrination through carefully selected knowledge.

The Black Civil Rights Movement is a key moment in global history, and still has repercussions for the world today (i.e. last Tuesday). Its also an accessible example of individuals in history and some key themes.

And what has it got to do with Britain? Well, funnily enough, the first few lessons of the module tends to deal with how BRITAIN stole these people's homelands, and shipped them off to America in bondage. So theres your Britain.

You do go off on tangents Nipple. Its all about the choices given to a ten year old boy who had certain names put before him on the subject of ''People who changed the World''

Ok. Why all this focus on American black history. Why no mention of the Jews. Over 2000 years of persecution and hardly a mention. Thats racism for you

valid point, just read that it is just over 70 years since kryshtalnacht.. when the Nazi Brownsirts trashed and robbed Jewish businesses and killed defenceless people.

The article said that an estimated 70% of the current Austian economy was stolen from Jewish people and businesses.....

cause for debate ?

Oh don't just go on about the Nazis. What about the Romans, then the Christians it goes on. Oh and why we are on about famous black yanks. How about Louis Farrakhan. He don't like the jews either.
