The Cambridge area and, I believe, much of Scotland, are exceptions.

I have difficulty understanding why

1) being about to teach about the world wars and the Holocaust should be
so noteworthy as to be worthy of being declared in the staff room.

2) why doing so should be the occasion of being the recipient of black
looks.
