Rejected Thrice, The Fourth Draft On Ethnic Relationship Module To Be Ready Mid 2007

The controversial Ethnic Relationship module, 'Mark IV' is being readied for next year. Little did we know that the third draft to this module had been rejected just three weeks ago! If this be the case and if even to this minute we cannot come to an agreement what does it imply?

For one, there probably have not been enough realistic and genuine changes to the original contents which gave a skewed depiction of history as seen through a few jaundiced eyes. A third rejection can only mean that both sides have more or less decided to keep firm to their declared positions and are not about to give in. If this is the state of ethnic relations as well as disagreement at the highest levels of the ruling political party, does imposing a course of doubtful value and questionable accuracy which has the potential to divide rather than unite, be a wise move? Why be obstinate and compel students? Wouldn't it be better to scrap the module and devise other methods which may be workable and less disputed?

Admittedly this is a subject on which there can be much argument on all sides. Those who wish to present their views here are most welcome to do so.
