Young people are learning history in a manner that estranges them, with no attempt being made at building any joint understanding of their mutual past or of building community integration.
Teaching a single perspective is disrespectful toward students, our children, toward Kosovo’s future citizens, as it is counterintuitive to human behavior and knowledge.
