The Ministry of Education has ordered schools to revise grade 7 Social Studies textbook, and add the following statement:
“President Nasheed resigned on 7 February 2012 after three years and two months in office. Hence, according to the constitution, vice-president Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik was sworn in as president.”
The opposition Maldivian Democratic Party condemned the move citing the party’s continued concerns over Waheed’s legitimacy. President Mohamed Nasheed claimed the February 7 transfer of power was a coup d’état.
International bodies, including the EU and the Commonwealth, have called for a speedy investigation into the transfer of power. The statement can be found here.

IT IS NOT LEGITIMATE
This is wrong to make this revision without an open investigation. I request this rogue government not to corrupt the minds of our children through distorted information.
No problem. The children have seen, firsthand, the brutality and illegitimacy of the occupying baaghee forces.
Maybe change the name of this country to Oceania, and rename Anni Emanuel Goldstein?
Even if water is labelled as milk....children will know the difference as they grow up... History will have to go through the test of time... and .....future generations will judge our actions.

To change a text in a schooltextbook is not a small practical matter. How fast CERTAIN things can be done in Male. When truly important changes, however small, take ages...
