Dear Principle
It has come to my attention that in many high schools some of the history that is presented to the students is considered forbidden or very controversial. Such being topics like nanking massacre, or in relation to the U.S the Bataan Death March after the surrender of U.S forces located in the Philippines. Even Russia's genocide and the massacres that spanned the century. whether you wish to deny that these events and others like it occurred or accept it is to your discretion, you should not forbid this information from high school students because truth be told these things did happen and there should be no denying it. We as students are at the age of which we can understand the event and why it happened, if these events are simply forgotten or denied. then how can we prevent them from happening again? because isn't that why we study history to learn from the mistakes of our ancestors and try to prevent this from happening again. If the goal is simply to deny the teaching of this information then I can almost guarantee that these events will be replicated and maybe on a far worse scale than previously .
