In my opinion if you withold or negate the right to directly link attitudes to historical events you are attempting to re write the historical narrative and take away or reduce the impact the events have even generations later.

That is of course down to culpability and guilt, if you deny the theory did it ever exist?...
I haven't said that I agree with the person in the video nor the premise of what she's saying, I actually said that I think the vast majority of Westminster Commons speeches are party-political soapboxing.

I don't agree with shutting down the debate in schools, theory being taught in schools (as existing theory NOT fact), nor do I agree with certain types of political content being blanket-banned. I do think there should be robust restrictions on the sources of that political material or it very quickly becomes an avenue for propaganda; anti-capitalist teaching material from an anti-capitalist movement is about as useful as a paper on economic theory written by Amazon.
