Palestinians have relied on education to maintain their culture, sovereignty, and dignity. In this article, we present the perspectives of two groups of 11th-grade Palestinian students on how and why historical discourse in school is critical for justice and freedom. One group argued that they should learn about how other nations lived, fought, stayed safe, and emancipated themselves from oppression. The other group argued that understanding national history is key to preserving history and culture.
