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

@vib
I'm guessing it's gonna be for a complete school year. I don't think our school system normally allows for a course to be held for only 1 semester (outside of universities of course). Although the latter would definitely be preferable.
But yeah, it's a really dumb and unnecessary move for us imo.
@alyx@gameliberty.club maybe it will flop and be sweeped under the carpet like other planned projects and/or maybe they said they're doing it to look good to the west for whatever reason(?)..
but if it becomes a reality and resources get put into this it will be dumb
