British schoolchildren are being taught that Stonehenge was built by Black people.
Yes, really.
Research by the think tank Policy Exchange uncovered one book that makes this claim, Brilliant Black British History is being used widely in schools.
The drive to decolonise history curriculums has ‘gone too far’ warns report (well, yes):https://t.co/Q4NSpEk59a

And as @TonyDowson rightly points out, the report 'shows that the Stonehenge point is still being taught'.https://t.co/SgLqZhtme9
The book, written by Nigerian-born author Atinuke, has sparked outrage among historians, parents, and anyone with a passing interest in, you know, facts.
New children’s book claims Stone Age British people were black and pagan monument ‘Stonehenge’ was built by black people.

The new book titled Brilliant Black British History claims Britain was a black country, 7,000 years before White people settled in Britain.
It also… pic.twitter.com/oF8MjPgtkd
If you thought Horrible Histories was amplifying the propaganda, well, here's a new book aimed at children that also inserts sub-Saharan Africans into British history.

Nevertheless, it was still given an British Book award for best ‘non-fiction’ book for children last year.
Atinuke and @kingsleynebechi's BRILLIANT BLACK BRITISH HISTORY wins Book of the Year: Children's Non-Fiction (supported by @TWJSciNat). Congratulations!

The teaching material, part of a broader push to “decolonize” history, insists that the iconic Wiltshire monument wasn’t just the work of pasty, bearded locals dragging stones across a field. Instead, it suggests a diverse coalition of ancient builders, including Black communities, were the masterminds behind the 5,000-year-old structure.
The book also claims “Britain was a black country for more than 7,000 years before white people came”.
The black people of Wiltshire built Stonehenge (lol)

These are not 'contested narratives', they are lies promulgated by ignorant chancers. pic.twitter.com/pQD1MJpq4E
As we have previous covered, there is no actual evidence of any of this, aside from shady accounts of the odd darker skinned person being present, and some scattered bone finds, including the much debunked ‘Cheddar man’, that are claimed to be of ancient black people.
Europeans were not Black 3,000 years ago. Cheddar man was not Black, Stonehenge was not built by Blacks, and Africans did not "evolve" or mutate into White Europeans.

Policy Exchange notes “in too many cases, this process has gone too far, leading to the teaching of radical and contested interpretations of the past as fact, or with anecdotes of interesting lives replacing a deeper understanding of the core drivers of history.”
“Numerous cases of poor-quality resources being used to teach contested narratives as fact have been identified,” the group continues, noting “For example, one book used in classrooms claims black people built Stonehenge, whilst free resources produced by a subject organisation celebrate the genital mutilation of a slave as a form of ‘gender transition’.”
The research also revealed that some schools have stopped teaching core aspects of British history, including the Battle of Agincourt, which less than one in five schools now cover, and the Battles of Trafalgar and Waterloo, which only 11 per cent include in the curriculum.
Think tank says decolonization has gone too far as schools teach pupils that Stonehenge was built by Black People.

Does Phillipson and Starmer not realise what an embarrassment this country's turning into?

The data revealed that 83 per cent of schools claim to have ‘decolonised’ or ‘diversified’ their history teaching.
British historian Lord Roberts urged “it is vital pupils are taught the history of their own nation in a manner that seeks to do more than simply inculcate shame about our past.”

There are only two important relevant facts here, scientifically speaking:
1. Stonehenge is estimated to have been built about 5,000 years ago.
2. If one of your great-grandparents was of a certain ethnicity, and all the others of another, it’s almost a certainty that your looks contain at most traces of that one great-grandparent, and very likely you wouldn’t even suspect it if you didn’t know. That’s why genetic tests only tell you about your ancestry up to about 200 years ago – it’s as good as it gets.
So the colour of the skin or other ethnic characteristics of the people who built Stonehenge are neither here nor there, regardless of whether you were born in Great Britain, or if your entire family tree as far as you can trace it is British.
As people who subscribe to the belief that Jesus had children and those children founded a royal line should know, chances are that in that case, just about all Europeans can claim to be descendants of Jesus. If we assume that the people who built Stonehenge didn’t become extinct shortly afterwards, there are very good chances that any British resident, regardless of origin, is a descendant of the people who built Stonehenge.
I don’t know why I bother trying to teach you genetics. You spent the entire pandemic lying about a deadly virus. You don’t care about genetics, you care about feeding your ego. Well, a lack of sufficient respect for science has a way of giving people horrible, painful futures.
What the what!?!
Not dei but definitely a plague…
There it is. White liberal female fragility and emasculated men using their doctorate degrees from university to write comic books for the “ignorant black and brown people” to teach them their history. The dystopian road to utopia so absurd it caught hold because normie Boomers shrugged it off since WWII ended.
Now Kid Rock’s “ugly ass liberal women” with green hair in their armpits can denigrate themselves into more loathsomeness at the alter of their platitudes.
I leave Britons(and applicable countries who fought on the allied side in WW2), with this quote from British historian David Irving:
“If the British soldiers on the beaches of Normandy in 1944 could look forward to the end of the century and see what England has become, they would not have bothered to advance another 40 yards up the beach.”
I once thought the BBC was a British Broadcasting service but now I think BBC means what pornographers say it means, …and does.
” EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG ! ! ! “
15 more cities like Birmingham. Well that doesnt sound absolutely wonderful!!.
Where’s the money and land coming from? Who is growing the food for these populations?. Whose providing the jobs/benefit money for these populations? Do you think they will be able to recruit rubbish removal people there, to ensure they dont provide the new cities the problems of Birmingham Council.?
Right, so I suppose white people must have invaded Britain and ‘displaced’ all the black people until more of them came over in the last couple of centuries? Next, it will be a black person invented the steam engine and started the industrial revolution.
Humanity would be far better off if the black plague became extinct.
