    Britain was never a colony. They were the colonizers. I could

    But how

    As such, they need to be removed from the history books so that kids are
    NOT taught this nonsense, otherwise they'll grow up actually believing
    it, making it that much harder to expunge in a future generation. There

    There is with regard to the claim 'black people built Stonehenge', FFS.

But real-world claims of 'unassailable truth' are never sustainable.
E.g,, I'm guessing the blackHenge crowd have documents, too...

 Or they just made up the documents to suit a political agenda, like they did
with the Cheddar Man example in my original post.

"Or *probably*", even.  But the point is that legislation needs a qualitative abstract basis for dismissing such cockamamie stuff. "That's obviously retarded!" doesn't cut it.
