CULTURAL ENRICHMENT: Goodbye Charles Martel: French history textbooks rewritten to be more Islam-friendly.

Clovis, for example, whose baptism influenced our history so profoundly has disappeared from the secondary school curricula. “In the offical texts, it is necessary to pass directly from the Roman empire to Charlemagne. The history of the West thus stops between the Edict of Milan, which authorised Christianity in 313, and the crowning of Charlemagne in 800,” notes Vincent Badré, a teacher of history/geography in a Paris banlieue who is the author of L’Histoire fabriquée. . . .

The list of the disappeared is long. Neither Charles Martel, nor Hugues Capet, not Saint Louis, nor Joan of Arc, nor Louis XIII are studied by the pupils.
