DPP lawmakers slam 'revisionist' history curriculum

Tuesday, 14 September 2010 08:11 Taipei Times

Opposition lawmakers and academics accused the government of revisionism and seeking to “brainwash” students after the Ministry of Education yesterday unveiled revisions to the high school curriculum that prioritize China’s history over that of Taiwan.

The Ministry of Education will hold the first of several public hearings on the proposed history course revision in Taipei City on Thursday, overriding concerns that the new changes will subject students to yet another course overhaul, the second in the past five years.

In a stunning turn of events in a 23-month-long court battle, a judge has decided to suspend the hearing and ask for a constitutional interpretation on whether illegal restrictions have been placed on the public’s right to assembly and on freedom of speech.

Taipei District Court Judge Chen Ssu-fan (陳思帆), presiding over a case where a university professor was arrested for holding a sit-in without a permit, said on Thursday night that the controversial Assembly and Parade Act (集會遊行法) would be passed on to the Council of Grand Justices to determine the constitutionality of several of its clauses.

Several groups are planning to hold a mass rally next to the Legislative Yuan on Sunday to call for an end to what they say is the hereditary control of local politics and to back demands for reform of the Referendum Act (公民投票法).

Organizers, including Taiwan March, Taiwan Inversion and the Appendectomy Project, said the nation’s electoral politics require a major overhaul to ensure channels for direct democracy.
