What is the Jewish population's reaction to the UK dropping the Holocaust from it's history class?

I know this is a year old but I want to know how the Jewish community of the UK feel about some school dropping the Holocaust from their lessons because they are afraid of some of the Muslims being offended since some deny the Holocaust ever happened.

Wouldn't omitting the Holocaust from the lesson offend the Jews?

How can they justify changing history to please one religious group?

Update:

No one is really answering my question.

What do the Jews have to say about this NOT YOU!

    I am not Jewish but I do think that the evil of Political Correctness is at hand.I am offended when I see one child being killed standing at a bus stop in Iraq by a suicide bomber.That alone is a Holocaust for that family never mind 6.000.000 Jews.This is the lesson never learned by people who have never suffered.The arrogance of intellectualism combined with Political correctness which is a form of banal evil practised and preached by cowards.I say that badges should be given to kids with the number 6 million on it and as a Christian I would wear it because not only did Jews die in these camps but non-Jewish people did too.What could the petty PC brigade say about that.Do you know what, is their evil deliberate or does it come from intellectual stupidity and insensitivity? If any Moslem believes that the holocaust did not occur and is offended by any reference to it then they are not Moslem's.They may be Jihadists but they are not followers of Islam.You cannot justify it.You can stand up and speak out against it and this questions in particular deeply saddens me because when you see the piles of shoes and glasses behind the glass you realise the enormity of the evil that man can do to his fellow man in the name of Politics or Religion and the minds behind this should offend any right thinking person no matter what religion they profess.

    I think the UK have gone too far by bowing to their Muslims - most probably out of fear to avoid terrorist attacks.

    It is very important to teach students about the Jewish Holocaust - and equally as important of genocide committed against the Gypsies, Kurds and the Armenians etc.

    Something has dramatically changed in the culture of the British and they are becoming increasingly anti-semitic and anti-ethnic.

    I'm Jewish, all my life.

    I think Sue above me said it as well as anyone could.

    And I'd add that it's a symptom of a growing problem world-wide.
