The author would like to point out that as he goes about criticising ignorance, poor understanding, bias, the objectification of women, ineffectiveness in British Government and the secular nature of modern society, he is in no way guilty of anything he accuses other people of. Honest.

Also from the Guardian today - Simon Schama on History in Schools

http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2010/nov/09/future-history-schools

Well worth a read. The most depressing moment is the account of one teacher determined to expand his student's historical knowledge up to the point when he realised the huge amount of work that would entail of both he and his charges. They lapsed back onto 'Hitler and the Henries'.
