  Are you suggesting then that the Labour legacy of devalued exams and pc nonsense should be left as it is?
  
  Do you realise, for instance, that Labours national curriculum only specifies two people from British history be taught in schools, Wilberforce and some unknown African ex slave? No requirements to learn about Churchill, Nelson, Wellington, Marlborough, Drake etc etc etc - all of whom were once household names and now unknown to the younger generation. What about the great Empire builders, how many kids these days know the fascinating story of Cecil Rhodes for instance? When children think Churchill is a nodding dog selling insurance it is time the education system was totally shaken up.
  
  The present position is simply intolerable.
  
  Gove is going to correct that and so he should. Political football - maybe, but why the hell should it be left in the sorry state Labour left it in.
  
  The fact is Labour are obsessed with using education to pursue their social engineering and pc agenda and not with real teaching of what matters and what and who made this country great.
