I used to think Black History month was a bit stupid. Apparently our Parliament thought it was a good idea to dedicate an entire school class to studying the jewish holocaust.

I understand and would approve of a chapter in history textbooks dedicated to the holocaust, or to genocides and similar atrocities in general.

But an entire class, that would take an entire school year, on a narrow subject, in a country that is far from being a major player in what happened at that time, and that doesn't have a visible issues with anti-semitism or fringe racist ideologies (like neo-nazism)... I'm sorry, but this is just absurd.

O nouă materie va ajunge în școlile românești. Legea care prevede introducerea materiei „Istoria Evreilor. Holocaustul” a fost promulgată

@alyx As in an entire subject in the school year? I'm Jewish and I still think that's dumb.
Even in Israel it's a subject under history class alongside other stuff.
