A website to teach schoolchildren in Britain about the events of 9/11 and "demolish conspiracy theories" surrounding the attacks was launched on Monday by the Mayor of London Boris Johnson. "It is only if we and our children properly remember and understand 9/11 that we can make sure that nothing like it ever happens again," Johnson said at the unveiling in London of a new artwork to commemorate the attacks.
He said the website would help to "provide a controlled demolition" of the conspiracy theories surrounding the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon which took place a decade ago on Sunday. Peter Rosengard, chairman of the "9/11 London project", said research in British schools last year revealed "the most incredible ignorance, confusion and misunderstanding" of the attacks. The website, aimed at children aged 11 to 16, includes downloadable lesson plans for teachers.
