The European Union has sent millions of diaries to schools which list the dates of Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish and Chinese festivals – but omit any mention of Christian celebrations.
In an extraordinary move, three million 2011 notebooks were printed at a cost of £4.4million to the taxpayer. Around 350,000 of the diaries have already been shipped to schools in the UK alone.
There is no record for Christmas, Easter or Lent – despite bureaucrats carefully listing the EU’s self-styled ‘Europe Day’ on May 9.
Self-serving? Oh yes.
Those asking for an explanation got none,
EU officials have described the diaries as ‘a rather gross error’ but were at a loss to explain how it might have occurred.
Yeah, right…
The blogprof pounds on the EU with the big stick.
