Swedish agency suggests exercise in which students argue Holocaust didn’t happen – Head of antisemitism watchdog calls recommendation by national educational institution, issued as part of push to have children understand conspiracy theories, ‘pure idiocy’ | Timesofisrael

JTA — Sweden’s National Agency for Education recommended that teachers should make students try to prove that the Holocaust never happened, as part of a push to help them understand conspiracy theories.
The recommendation came in a recently published handbook for high school teachers that the government’s institution in charge of scholastic issues had created, the Aftonbladet daily reported earlier this month.
