Students mustn’t learn about the Prophet

I refer to the article Non Sequitur and the absurd media theatre.
I started learning the life of the great Prophet when I was in standard five (1959) including the lives of other saintly figures such as Jesus Christ, Guru Nanak and Gautama Buddha. These were taught as part of our history studies and they were sensitively delivered by the teachers without any bias or prejudice on any religion, unlike what is happening today in our schools.
Since Islam is now becoming such a highly sensitive issue these days, I guess it will no longer be appropriate to teach non-Muslim students the times and life of Prophet Mohammad anymore as we do not want these students to misconstrue the text thus creating more problems, which we can do without.
There is now such a gray area on what can be said and what cannot be said on such a topic that it would be best that it be left out of the school syllabus.
