Hey principle, have a sec?

Dear Principle,
 In the beginning of the year the first thing I learned in my American History class was that I was lied to all my life about my American History. Everything I know about the history of this country isn't really the truth. Now that I am set straight thanks to Mr. Meechin I guess I shouldn't be insulted. HOWEVER, when it comes to learning about the history of important events like WWII I want to know the details and facts. War is pretty serious and to cover up even a little bit up it's insanity! A lot of people lost their lives and for what?!?!?!?!! To be dead and not remember why??? That's messed up. Why should we know about the Holocaust and not the Rape of Nanking?? The Rape of Nanking is as horrible as the Holocaust. The Rape of Nanking is absolutely a foreign topic to many people, and that is truly sad. When the Japanese invaded China it was terrible. You would never think that a small country like Japan would be so abusive to their neighbor China. Sadly, They were more than abusive, it's sick and cruel! There is no point in hiding things from high school students. How are we supposed to grow up and mature when even school is baby-ing us with education. Denying the fact that it ever happened would be pointless and very wrong. Eventually the truth will always come out. If it didn't then we seriously wouldn't know what happened in WWI and WWII. It's important to know about our past... Learning from our mistakes or embracing our victories, it should be known and valued!
