Young must not be fooled with false history

Students in Taiwan have the right to receive history education that is correct and should not be manipulated by political forces as tools for their agenda.

Taiwan's education authority has adjusted the content of some textbooks in order to right some misreadings of the island's history, such as altering "Japanese governance" to "Japanese colonization" and "(Chinese) takeover of Taiwan" as "liberation of Taiwan."

However, the move has met opposition from the Democratic Progress Party and some organizations, and some high school students were incited to protest outside the education authority's office, despite not knowing the difference between the old textbooks and the new.
