Ironies:
“Balance in Teaching about the EU

CAMPAIGN FOR BALANCED INFORMATION
President: Professor Antony Flew

CITIZENSHIP FOR 11-16 YEAR-OLDS
(Personal and Social, or Modern Studies, in some parts of the UK)

BRITAIN AND THE EUROPEAN UNION

We believe that a considerable amount of pro-European Union material from government and EU sources is being presented to schools involved in teaching the above course.
The Campaign is concerned to ensure that a balance of information is made available to pupils which is factual and not party-political. As education professionals, we wish to redress what we believe to be a serious omission. In order to comply with the 1996 Education Act, Sections 406 and 407, schools are required to provide unbiased information.
Two education professionals, Joy Squire and Iris Binstead, have prepared a package which contains information on the Euro, Human Rights, democratic self-government and various aspects of the law. Accompanying this are four transparencies for overhead projection, which give a visual aspect to learning. Also enclosed is a video.”

Thanks to Martin Cole for the post The EU would have us belive that they have a right to inform their Citizens but when they are spending millions each year in educationnal material we ahould question the balance of that materila obviously the Campaing For Balanced Information has decided that balance is lacking in the matrerial they may well have looked some of the relevent Papers from The Bruges Group I have posted links two two of them below;
