On this show we will discuss a topic that is mentioned and covered in great detail throughout the UK in our educational institutions, the media, books and countless films. We will explore how the second world war has affected and continues to affect the curriculum as we seek to explore the question, do we give the war too much coverage in our schools?
First and foremost, I am not anti the teaching of the second world war, in fact, I feel that it is important to teach our children about it and for them to understand how we have reached the point we are currently at in time. This is the most important part for me, though, the actual teaching of the war. We all know that the winners always write the history books and that the viewpoint will be influenced by the bias of said winners. My query is whether this emphasis on the war has any underlying purpose and if so, how deep does it run?
What is the general feeling about the war in the UK?
How does this impact upon the mindsets of British citizens?
I would love for you to join in the discussion by emailing me at jamie@colouredsouls.co.uk
