Sugar-Coating

textbooks have been sugar-coated ever since a can remember. this year i have been able to come to the conclusions on certain topics. especially the topics astounding events in history. the rape of nanking had only been mentioned once in my history, which was last year, and it was described as a "tragic event". thats it.. their was no explanation for it at all. before this year i was made to believe that Christopher Columbus was a great explorer with ambition who sailed the world and found america. BAAAAAALLLLLLOOONNEEEEY!!!! being fed the fabricated history and finding out the truth later makes you feel like a moron. like you need to relearn history; and thats exactly what happens in school. every year they change what you think you've already learned. Maybe its because of the Maturity issue, but in my opinion, if we are going to lie about history, we might as well not teach history at all. because all it becomes is a cut up story.
