The stuff about the British Empire doesn't make me uncomfortable, I don't care. It's boring, and would kill anyone's interest in History. If that stuff is gonna be taught, lump it into to "Citizenship Studies" or "General Studies", or post-compulsory education.

A lot of history is boring but you can't ignore it or cherry pick bits of it to teach. In all honesty, the colonial times and their effects on the world both good and bad should be prioritised as much as the world wars are especially considering that the colonial times still have a massive impact on the world today.
