GB News: Schoolchildren taught black people built Stonehenge - 'Inculcating shame about our past!'
A report by Policy Exchange reveals that some UK schools are teaching that black people built Stonehenge as part of a "decolonised" curriculum. While the initiative aims to diversify historical narratives, critics argue it leads to the promotion of contested interpretations over established facts.

Recommendations include creating a new exam focused on British history to ensure students receive a comprehensive understanding of their nation's past.
