Sweden Wants to Delete Ancient History from School Curriculum in the Name of Diversity and Migrants

Previously-undisputed pillars of education such as ancient and medieval history will have to make way for contemporary topics such as gender roles, climate change and immigration in the newly-proposed Swedish school curriculum.

A new syllabus developed for Sweden’s state schools by the country’s National Agency for Education proposes drastic changes in how history and humanities should be taught.

The most striking part is that Classical Antiquity and the Middle Ages, a formative period for the Western world in general and Sweden in particular, will disappear from the curriculum completely.

According to the daily Svenska Dagbladet, “ancient civilisations, from prehistoric times to about 1700” will be removed from the syllabus due to “insufficient teaching hours”.

Instead, the emphasis will be made on postwar times and a postmodernist view of society and history, rather than the classical philosophic outlook formed by Ancient Greek thinkers such as Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.

Due to the recent trend of focusing on social knowledge and recent history, ancient history has been gradually de-prioritised through “extensive deletions”. Now, large chunks of history, including the Roman Empire, the Viking Age and even the Swedish Imperial Era will be removed altogether.

By contrast, the proposed syllabus contains highly-politicised subjects such as gender roles, immigration, the environment, climate [i.e. brainwashing], so-called norm-challenging, democratic values, and critical theory.

When it comes to history proper, focus will be put on Western colonialism, the slave trade and nationalism

Alexander: So, the hidden agenda is to erase the achievements of the white race, and brainwash the new generations into demonizing it, whilst promoting immigration from third world countries located in Africa.

The globalists are trying to keep mankind from uniting, through various divide-and-conquer tactics. This paves the road for a new wave of racism, within a generation or two, but this time aimed at white people. Same tactic, different people.

They want to make white children in Sweden (and all over the world) feel guilty for things that happened hundreds or even thousands of years ago, in totally different social contexts, on a different continent, and by people that we they have nothing to do with. 

Yet, somehow, they’re going to make this complete nonsense stick. At the same time, they are erasing from history the achievements of the white people, who basically designed and built the modern world, who eventually fought and died to free black people from slavery in America, who wrote a constitution that protects ALL humans, regardless of race, and it’s the closest thing to complete sovereignty that we have ever had in history. 

Now, when racism is virtually nonexistent in the Western world, the powers that shouldn’t be want to fuel a new wave of of this poison, but aimed a different people. 

All this is designed to keep us distracted and occupied, whilst the 13 bloodlines and their cronies continue to loot the world, depopulate us in the millions a year, and keep us on a shorter and shorter leash.

The National Agency for Education recognized that the decision to cut ties with such important cornerstones in the history of Sweden and Europe is controversial.

“It hurts us too”, says Anna Westerholm, the head of the Swedish National Agency for Education’s curriculum department, told Svenska Dagbladet.

“We have done a fairly thorough examination of how content and hours match, and we know that the subject of history must carry too much. We have squeezed in too much. The hours are not enough.”

According to Westerholm, removing elements defined as classical history “hurts the least”.

The National Agency for Education recognised that the proposal “will meet opposition”, admitting that this drastic measure “would rather be avoided”. However, it has been deemed necessary to “mitigate the serious and well-documented substance congestion”.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the expected criticism was not long in coming. Jenny Wallensten, a researcher of ancient culture and social science at the Swedish Institute in Athens, called the proposal “absurd”.

“Antiquity, which has a unique historical and archaeological source material, is really the starting point that can create a long-term perspective,” Wallensten told Svenska Dagbladet. “If you have no knowledge of the ancient, you can have no respect for the future, either,” she contended.

Former Liberal Party leader Jan Björklund tweeted that he’d stopped a similar proposal when he was education minister.

Att stryka Antiken ur historieundervisningen? Olyckligt. Samma förslag kom när jag var minister, men jag stoppade detta. https://t.co/pcq5MKhrE2

Det är tur att antiken inte är levande idag, för annars hade vi varit tvungna att inkludera den i vår kulturella mångfald, vilket med dess värdegrund skulle ha kunnat bli något av en utmaning. Fast även idag skulle många ledare haft nytta av en slav på vagnen…

“​It is fortunate that Antiquity is not alive today, because otherwise we would have had to include it in our cultural diversity, which given its value foundation could have been something of a challenge,” Staffan Gunnarsson, former director of the European Humanist Federation, tweeted.

​Education in Sweden is mandatory for children aged 6 to 15.
