konketsu answered: basically the education ministry in taiwan is going to ‘renew’ history texbooks/guidelines for curriculum by taking out the white terror era of taiwan (1949-1987, a period where taiwanese fought back against communism/resisting KMT and were executed etc), replacing crucial sections of taiwanese history with chinese history, omitting events where china ‘controlled’ taiwan, focusing more on japanese reign in taiwan. This texbook revision (which is about to take place 8/1, 2015) is disastrous since ‘changing’ history could result in future generations and our current one as well not knowing REAL taiwanese history. It would ruin our foundation as a country and blind the people from knowing their own history, their own roots. This is not just a problem of textbook revision, it is blatantly erasing taiwanese identity.
internetexplorers:
please pay attention to this. if the plan for the revision of Taiwanese history text books goes through the future generations of taiwan will pretty much be brainwashed and so much of their history and culture will be erased. these changes made in the textbooks are literally propaganda to support the KMT I’m honestly so worried
no subject
