I was really impressed by Heidi's clarity of thought. As for the Mr. To, a self-proclaimed advocate of the manual, repeatedly said we should encourage discussion in various perspectives despite the limited or one-sided viewpoint offered by the manual. Even the host is a bit agitated by Mr. To's monotonous defense, and Mr. To resorted to the comparison with the colonial days of Hong Kong government. That looks pretty lame argument  to me to say the least. That as well sheds some light on the mindset of those behind the manual whose name is a misnomer. Heidi is absolutely correct that the book should provide basic materials, i.e. information and facts, before the teacher can engage the students in discussion involving various or diverse viewpoints. In Heidi, I still see a glimmer of hope though it is faint.
