    You’d believe that’s different in Germany. Unfortunately the education about the world wars in general requires drastic enhancements here as well…

    the things the ministry of education in North-Rhine-Westphalia is worried about? (Partially) Getting rid of the sociology focus in schools regarding social sciences and shifting the focus on economy-lessons.

    Universities didn’t want to partake. Unfortunately they have given up and now even the academic subject for teaching has been changed from social sciences to – rough translation – economy-politics (Wirtschaft-Politik) and the subjects accordingly.

    Especially in consideration of the current loss of voters of moderate parties in favor of radical ones should be a red-flag that, for future generations, adjusting the focus of education is essential. Regarding this article… maybe talking about the book burning of 1933 in Germany is something they should DEFINITELY cover. These events are more than concerning.
