dear principal

dear Principal

to often in class rooms are there missing pieces to a puzzle or censored facts about a event in history.like the rape of Nanjing and the Ukrainian famine and many others.history is a recorded account of what happened these events no matter how gruesome or brutal they did happen and to Deny or censor their existence is a spit in the face to those who lived through them and experienced them.also we are high school students and all the teachers and staff here at school are constantly telling us that we are young adults and we should act like it.if this is true then why don't you give us adult topics and conversations? my point is if we are going to be the leaders of tomorrow then we should become familiar with and learn how to deal with such topics not turn our backs on them.

should we get involved?

i believe the u.s should get involved to stop other countries from committing genocide. because as a world power i believe it is our duty to protect people from any country committing mass murder.and if we just sit there and do nothing then they will just keep on doing it.in the matter of life or death we need to act quickly and use military force if necessary to stop dictators and other political heads from carrying out these acts

religion vs evoloution

when it comes to the debate on whether to teach evolution or religion i believe we should have some schools that teach both.because both are valid arguments and u cant just teach one side of the matter to people if they truly don't believe in it. so i they should be taught both.then they decide which to believe in and pick a school based on that.but all so in both schools teach tolerance of other peoples belief's because augment of the subject happen much to often.
