No - I don't think the attacks are that famous in the UK. Perhaps with the older generation. Since it was more relevant to them - and the standards of education were much higher back in the olden days.
Then again - the History taught in schools here in the UK is shockingly poor and incompetent. So you can't blame the young.
Mostly teaching just focuses on the tidbits of knowledge you need to know, so that you can answer the particular type of questions which will come up on the exam. There is no room for a wider perusal of issues and interesting knowledge - for its own sake.
I thought I hated History - until I left school and got a chance to study it properly.
