Meanwhile, In the UK....

Ed Balls, the Children's Secretary in the UK, has made the announcement that history will remain part of the curriculum. The made the announcement at the Associate of Teachers and Lecturers Conference, saying that information technology classes, centering around communications devices such as Twitter, will not replace history, but simply be added onto the curriculum.

The BBC story (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/7986292.stm) does not, however, tell how this even got started, other to say that it was all a large misunderstanding.
