blueridge says:

They plan to strike over it. This is typical of all wars and reconstruction, to justify everything done. (E.g. the U.S. established government "free schools", now compulsory, as part of Reconstruction after the Civil War)

Teachers will threaten to boycott military involvement in schools at the 
  union's annual conference next weekend, claiming the lesson plan is a "propaganda" 
  exercise and makes no mention of any civilian casualties as a result of the 
  war.

They believe the instructions, designed for use during classroom discussions 
  in general studies or personal, social and health education (PSE) lessons, 
  are arguably an attempt to rewrite the history of the Iraq invasion just as 
  the world prepares to mark its fifth anniversary.
