E-mails are circulating around the world, claiming the UK has banned the teaching of the Holocaust in schools.
The false suggestion is the action has been taken by the government to avoid offending some Muslim communities.
A number of people have contacted the BBC News website querying e-mails they have been sent.
One example is headed "In Memoriam".
It says: "Recently this week, UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offended' the Moslem population which claims it never occurred."
It adds: "This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it."

Much of the mainstream press evidently reported it:
Teachers drop the Holocaust to avoid offending Muslims
...Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, a Governmentbacked study has revealed.
It found some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial...
Gee- the Muslims can't POSSIBLY deny the Holocaust, can they? I mean, Iran's "symposium" on it- that was a "zionist plot.
The official Palestinian al-Hayat al-Jadida went further on 13 April 2001, Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day, describing the Holocaust as a 'fable'. Figures of the Jewish dead were a 'lie', their dissemination a product of 'international marketing' by Jews. In France in February 2004, teachers similarly reported that Muslim pupils had for some time been interrupting history classes in order to object to accounts of Nazi policy and actions in the Second World War.
