Being English myself and speaking it on a daily basis. It's "a historic event", unless you're a cockney. Your students should complain.

The (sic) is not necessary. You can use a or an in front of historic
^This. Some people pronounce 'historic' with a silent 'h' while others pronounce it with an aspirated, not emphasized 'h' that is barely audible. This would make 'an' the correct indefinite article. For those who place the emphasis on the first syllable with a clearly audible 'h' the correct word is 'a'. So in written form either is acceptable.
