in relation to Israel palestine conflict.
I am pretty about it...
to point of actually mentioning it to school. Facts being facts and all?

Ah, no, Cod - that's not a "mistake" - not an incorrect date, but a fairly dodgy and ill-informed interpretation. I suppose I am a bit precious about history - kind of my area (and DH's).

And for your information, Cod, I live in Scotland. We worship the sun coming out!

Maybe mention it at parents evening, rather than making a formal complaint?

I'd still complain tbh, but it's an imporatnt battle to me, unfortunately to most poele it's not.

BTW it's not a pun cod, it's a cliche.

I guess, but this is maybe a battle worth choosing - if there was ever a time when people needed to be properly informed about Middle Eastern affairs, it's now.

Don't you think, Cod? Maybe not a formal complain, but it's pretty shitty history for a start, and a pretty overt political statement. A quiet word with the head?

Well I'd disgree with her, I think the Isrealis transfereed the persecution to the Palestinians.

BUT if I were a history teacher, I would refrain from saying so.

I might mention it to the school if i were you, but I feel passionately about this conflict.

That's a political statement, not history. I would mention it to the school, tbh - rather casts a doubt on the objectivity and competence of the teacher.
