LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE
 
It seems imposing government ideology in textbooks of schoolchildren is not only Bangladesh's problem. According to this report:
 
In the past five years, Indian schoolchildren of all faiths have learned quite a bit about the culture of the Hindu majority. The Communist Party of India, coalition partner of the ruling Congress Party called for yet another rewrite of Indian history, so that the schoolchildren can learn India's many cultures instead of focusing on the religion of the majority.

Can't the governments just leave the kids alone?
