In one year, Secretariat Public Education (SEP) presented three different versions about the student movement of 1968 and what happened in the Plaza de las Tres Culturas in Tlatelolco on the night of October 2 and version to know the most of 2 million 957 thousand students from fifth grade to receive the book of history, calls it "a great event that brought together" and that "it was suppressed" not blame the government or the army , when it's so just more than a month offered as supplementary material, spoke of a "massacre" of young and blamed the government of President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz of events.
Under Secretary of Basic Education, Fernando González Sánchez, ruled that the change is the result of comments to the topic by members of the Mexican army or academics or researchers.
When asked about the change, the official first said that the first inclusion of this item is in the elementary level is "reference only" and that what happened then can be consulted in different documents, biographies, sources periodicals or even "there are films, multimedia objects."
Undersecretary surprise was referring to in the last 12 months the office in charge has given various interpretations to the October 2 demonstration in Tlatelolco. A first text said that the demonstration "was violently repressed" and consequently "the crime convinced several government opponents that he had lost legitimacy and that other methods were needed to address social demands."
version end of the material that was offered as complementary-that came to school a week before the end of the school year, the event qualifies as "violently suppressed", but adds that as a result of the investigation conducted by the Commission of Truth (1993) was attended by former President Diaz Ordaz "in the killing."
The book from this day will be distributed in schools in Tlatelolco says "a great demonstration met" and said only that it was "suppressed", without further details .
Given the situation, the Secretary Sánchez González argued that the book is not the only source of learning, "but immediately said" let me review the comparative analysis. Surely the decision was teaching in the sense of dramatic expression and that must be very careful in the politicization of historical facts
FJ Note: So in the end this censorship fact of our history, is due to issue its own policy requiring affirmation of the assistant secretary of education.
