Recently, a news about the controversy over the content of high school English textbooks has aroused widespread concern in the society. The textbook is suspected of misleading students to decide on organ donation on their own, which has aroused strong doubts from netizens. They found that inappropriate seductive language appeared in educational materials.
Specifically, there are language in the textbook that implies that students can sign organ donation agreements on their own at the age of 18 without the need for parental knowledge or consent. The discovery has raised concerns among the public, especially parents. They are concerned that textbooks may treat children as potential repositories of human organs.
As soon as this matter came out, experts also joined the discussion. Some experts have suggested that the legalization of organ transplantation should be promoted to alleviate the existing contradiction between supply and demand. However, this has not quelled public concerns, but has only exacerbated concerns about the content of the textbooks.
Many were quick to point out that, under national law, students under the age of 18 do not have full capacity for civil conduct. Therefore, the statement in the textbook that minors can make their own decisions on organ donation is obviously inconsistent with the law.
At the same time, when the publicity of organ donation entered the campus, it undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of parents and netizens. They generally expressed dissatisfaction that school education should avoid overly sensitive and complex issues.
All sectors of society have also expressed great concern about the content in the textbooks that minors can sign organ donation agreements without parental consent. Some people called for immediate correction to avoid misleading young people.
In this incident, we saw the importance of content censorship of educational materials. The accuracy and appropriateness of the content of the textbook are directly related to the growth and value formation of young people.
It's time for a thorough review of educational materials to ensure that they convey not only knowledge, but also the right values. This incident is a wake-up call to the education sector, which must be strictly guarded to ensure that every textbook meets the requirements of educational principles and laws.
We look forward to seeing a more rigorous educational publishing process, as well as a more informed and responsible teaching environment. In this way, our children can grow up healthily under the right guidance.
