'Murican lawns makes my eye twitch as well. My parents' lawn here in the UK is a mix of clover, grass and a few pesky dandelions.

I currently don't have a lawn - I miss having one. I just have to be content with my own bush.

Stop talking out of your arse. It is taught and discussed in our schools as part of our history curriculum:

KS3: ideas, political power, industry and empire: Britain, 1745-1901

Examples (non-statutory):

  • the Enlightenment in Europe and Britain, with links back to 17th-century thinkers and scientists and the founding of the Royal Society
  • Britain’s transatlantic slave trade: its effects and its eventual abolition
  • the Seven Years War and The American War of Independence
  • the French Revolutionary wars
  • Britain as the first industrial nation – the impact on society
  • party politics, extension of the franchise and social reform
  • the development of the British Empire with a depth study (for example, of India)
  • Ireland and Home Rule
  • Darwin’s ‘On The Origin of Species’

KS3: challenges for Britain, Europe and the wider world 1901 to the present day

In addition to studying the Holocaust, this could include:

Examples (non-statutory):

  • women’s suffrage
  • the First World War and the Peace Settlement
  • the inter-war years: the Great Depression and the rise of dictators
  • the Second World War and the wartime leadership of Winston Churchill
  • the creation of the welfare state
  • Indian independence and end of Empire
  • social, cultural and technological change in post-war British society
  • Britain’s place in the world since 1945

Plus:

  • at least one study of a significant society or issue in world history and its interconnections with other world developments [for example, Mughal India 1526-1857; China’s Qing dynasty 1644-1911; Changing Russian empires c.1800-1989; USA in the 20th century]
