Dear Principal,
What the educators in my past have been teaching is very factual and beneficial. I have learned a lot from them and value the education. Fortunately, I have a teacher this year who has branched out of the "box" to teach me about the not so "text booky" material. Unfortunately, the material isnt censored, so we must get into some complicated and brutal events.
Have you ever heard of the "Raping of Nanjing"? Most adults and students are unaware of this event, even though it is one of the biggest attacks in world history. Over 250,000 Chinese residents were killed against their will in forceful matters. 20,000 women were raped in the attack. "There probably is no crime that has not been committed in this city today." -Minnie Vautrin
Bosnia-Herzegovina. This was an act of violence within their own country. Men and women were separated and taken away on buses to be raped or killed instantly.
After learning about these historical events I became very interested on if there were more we have not learned about. The world has had so many other violences that we are oblivious to, and we need to teach more of this in school.
