Surely the content of school history books is far worse than the content of a video game.
Unless they arent teaching children the truth of what went on in ancient Sparta, Egypt, Rome or during the conquest of Africa, America, Asia and Polynesia or any of the large wars of the 20th century ...
... but that couldn't possibly be the case could it?
Call Joe and tell him that our schools are filling our childrens heads with violent imagery that could turn them into "young people with issues around stabbing" (the pc term for murderers).
History was never that cool in school....
I have a great interest in ancient warfare and was something I looked at doing in college ( yes theres degrees in ancient warfare studies) but granted you dont get a job that pays money, you keep trying to get grants form people for life, sounded effort.
Secondary school history is World War 1 from its politcal view, World War 2 from mostly a political view and its effect afterwards and the Irish revolution and civil war.
If I was told about the literal grooming of Spartan children into soliders, the Greeks phalanx or the conquest of Alexander The Great, I wouldn't have spent my time in History class asleep.
So in effect, theres actually nothing even mildly gorey in school history, if anything, its teaching our kids how war is a ****ing fantastic way to get yourself elected into power

I studied Latin in secondary and part of that was Roman military history up to Julius Ceasar's death.
I must look for my military tactics book for Hannibal's campaign. Diagrams and all. That was taught to a bunch of 14 and 15 year olds in Limerick. Great idea...0 -

Speaking of history there last week I handed up a project on the Battle of la Drang in 1965.Surprised I was allowed do it but yea,I was very happy with myself when I handed it up.Only thing though I had to do a lot of research and watch We Were Soliders and a documentary on the battle.0 -

Ugh ... LC History back in the 90's sucked no less.
a year listening to a dessicated middle aged woman rambling on about Irish history between 1860 and 1960. I personally believe that how most people develop weird fetishes, it's their brains desperately trying to to stop the body dying of boredom.
On the up side though that Bismarck chap was an awful bastard 0 -
