Anyone see this (Thu. BBC2) ? I was a bit irritated by it - a 'bleeding heart' teacher in her Victorian costume reading from a late 19th century text book, moaning about its content, and the pupils being all PC in their responses.
Yes, by today's standards, the views of the Victorians towards the natives of other countries may seem shocking, as was teaching boys to fire rifles, but surely the programme was meant to replicate the education experience as it was - not criticise it.
Another case of disguised propaganda??
