Letter to the Editor
School Textbooks Twist the Truth

I read your editorial, Hong Kong, China Need Forceful Protests, and can't agree more! I was born in the 1990s, and I do think that Hong Kong's Post-80s Generation is really brave to fight for democracy!

In my observation, many junior-school textbooks always emphasize that Hong Kong has a democratic government. These books tell children that the government gives us a lot of freedom and that it's fair. Students should think about it. Is it real? I don't think so!
