Following Michael Gove's tirade in the Daily Mail against the opponents of his curriculum review John Clare has dissected the article and its assumptions in his recent blog (Another Rant). So this entry simply links to John's excellent, if disturbing, critique that gives all of us involved in History education 'Cause for concern'!
