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.

China yesterday sentenced to death six more people convicted of murder, arson and other violent crimes during ethnic rioting that left at least 197 dead in the far-western city of Urumqi, bringing the total number of death sentences linked to the July unrest to 12.

The six sentenced to death yesterday were among 14 tried on Wednesday by the Urumqi Intermediate People’s Court, five of them apparently from the Uighur ethnic minority and one from the Han Chinese majority.
