Seriously. Check out this British Bedwetter, better known as a "social media influencer" who thinks kids should not learn too much about World War II. The New York Daily News reported:
A 22-year-old reality TV star and social media “influencer” raised eyebrows on British television when he said teaching kids about World War II is too “intense” and not good for their mental well being.
“I find it, um, very like, obviously it was a hard situation, World War II,” Freddie Bentley conceded on Friday’s “Good Morning Britain.”
But according to Bentley, there are more practical things that could be taught.
“There are so many problems going on in the world like Brexit, that’s not taught in school, and climate change, which is a situation I think we should be aware of,” he said. “When I left school I felt like, it hit me like a ton of bricks because I don’t know anything about general life.”...
“I’m not saying get rid of it totally, but let go of it a little bit and replace it with a subject that’s going to be beneficial to us in the future,” said Bentley, who has more 100,000 Instagram followers. He said he was taught about the second World War a “little bit in primary school.”
Wilshaw tried to explain that learning about the past matters because it prepares students for the future.
“Fifty million people died in the second World War to fight fascism, to fight tyranny,” he said. “(To fight) People who wanted to take away peoples right to freedom to the vote, to the franchise.”
The National World War Museum puts the death toll at 60 million, which includes civilians. More than 450,000 of those killed were from the U.K.
According to Bentley, learning about the sacrifices of others is a big burden to bear...
“I totally get that, but I don’t think it need to be put in such a way to young children mentally, to their mental health, that ‘this many people died for you,’” he said. “My God, it’s so intense.”
The Gen Z influencer believes the past is best left in the past.
“I don’t think encouraging death or telling people how many died in a world war is going to help someone in the future,” he added.Rest of article.
Draft the coward, stick his ass in the infantry, and ship him off to Afghanistan or an even hotter spot. Better yet, subject him to this little custom used during the liberation of France.
A tour or two of Auschwitz and Dachau wouldn't hurt, either.

He needs one good season of, let’s say Madison Central football, for instance. You get initiated by getting your b u t t beat by your friends and it’s worse for someone like him. He wouldn’t last a week in most masculine situations. Bless.
I propose that this fellow and the little dyslexic Swedish climate whiner child breed. They can found a race of morons -- nicely blonde, but quite stupid.
The left are erasing the Civil War now, I guess World War 2 will be next.
Kingfish you are right about a visit to Auschwitz.
My life was changed when I saw the swimming pools where the nazis glued coins to the bottom, resulting the drowning deaths of millions.
I was shocked to actually see the Holocoaster that was used to dump cart loads of Jews into the massive furnaces after they were killed by masturbation machines.
And what shocked me the most were the rickety barn doors on the gas chambers and the massive detached chimney behind to the crematorium that wasn't connected to anything.
It is suprising that there were so many survivors to write books about their horrific experience.
6:19 AM Yep!

History is being cleaned by the left & news media!
Why in the world did we ever get a civil right museum? Every street in Jackson is named after a civil right leader. They even have a Jessie Jackson street.
In New York last week a high school football coach was suspended for a week because his team won by 48. For these social justice warriors, a coach has to give an acceptable explanation if his team wins by 42 or more.
How about this explanation: "We work hard and are a good team. You are lazy and suck."
I bet these are Kirsten Gillibrand supporters.
There have probably been people in every generation going back a ways who thought knowing history wasn't important. The difference now is communications technology and people's obsession with their devices and social media. Still, that makes for a scarey proposition.
umm..hello. the right has done it's fair share of history scrubbing also.
where should we start?
nevertheless, how could anyone be 'influenced' by this person?

Influencer? With Less than 1 million followers? I wouldn't expect this to be a story in the UK, much less to JJ.
You have to ask yourself why is this news?
It is almost as if news stories are intentionally promoted to divide and conquer. To drive a wedge between the generations and races.
Makes me wonder why people who control the media would do such a thing?
11:34, I'm not that smart and need you to give me specific examples of how the right has scrubbed history.
