Hi everyone
Have you read the article by Ian Jack, Guardian 19 November, p47?
Four historians, two arguments, nobody dead. Does it matter? Well, yes
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/nov/18/ian-jack-teaching-history-british-empire?
He writes "The empire ... can be taught more honestly than ever before. Neither pride nor apology should come into it."
I say, get them to apologise, and not only that, but get them to make up for all the damage caused.
comments welcome
