Dear Principal of high school,
I' m writing to you in part of all those who are on my side. History books all over the world are being edited and some are even being banned from most schools. My question is why? Why is it that our history is kept a secret from us. There are many people that are against this. For those of us who would like to know everything about our history and about everything that has happened in the past, we believe that times like the Rape of Nanking and genocide acts in other places of the world like Rwanda for example, should be taught to us. Why is that we are not allowed to learn about every single thing that has happened throught history in our textbooks? I think that for all of us who live on the planet Earth should know what has happened and what is happening in the world around us, not only so we know what has happened and to be prepared just incase of a repeat but also we can make sure that we prevent it from happening again. For example let's say that one of these events from the past like the Holocoust was to occur again and we didn't know about how it occured and how it was ended , then we wouldn't know what to do. Our leaders and big people may know what has happened but since we might be next to fill their spots, we should be well informed about our history. So that we don't make the same mistakes.
