Sammy in a frenzy over Taigs teaching the Troubles

It would appear the introduction of ‘The Troubles’ within the Key stage three school curriculum has upset Assembly Education Committee Chair, DUP MP Sammy Wilson. The one-time teacher and Assistant Chief Examiner for A-Level Economics is concerned that catholic teachers (or as he puts it, “those involved in the maintained sector”) will bring their politics with them.
The cheek (pun intended) of this man seems to know no bounds. Quite why catholic teachers should particularly give Sammy cause for concern remains a mystery that perhaps he could clarify for those of us involved in education.
