This post covers the essentials of the question you asked

/u/girlscout-cookies , perhaps you could shed some more light on this?

Hi, everybody! So, you've probably clicked on this thread because you don't agree that this is actually how the topic is addressed in British schools. And you may be correct, but you'll need to put together a serious answer to explain that, going into the history of how the British suppression of the slave trade has been handled in schools in the past. If you just want to question the premise or suggest that the OP's experience was atypical, please don't.

Our mission is to provide users with in-depth and comprehensive responses, and our rules are intended to facilitate that purpose. That's why we remove comments that are very short, based on speculation, or just plain inaccurate. Making comments asking about the removed comments simply makes the problem worse. So please, before you try your hand at posting, check out the rules: we don't want to have to give you a temporary ban for ignoring them.

While you wait, you can check out places our already-answered questions are featured, including Twitter, the Sunday Digest, the Monthly "Best Of" feature, and now, Facebook. Statistically speaking, it's very likely that the question will be answered in a few hours, so please check back in later.

Finally, while we always appreciate feedback, we ask that any comments about our moderation style and rules be sent to modmail, or a META thread. Please be aware that we've considered and discarded the idea of an "answered" flair and an automatic "free talk" comment thread many times already. Thank you!
