20. I'm not sure that's the issue here.

I think that pupils should be taught the truth and not lies. The Nakba is a matter of historical record. It's not a matter of two valid viewpoints; Nakba denial is just like denying the Holocaust or the Armenian genocide, except it's more widely accepted. Children *do* need to be protected from the "viewpoint" that the Nakba didn't happen, or that it wasn't as massive crime by Israel against the Palestinians, because that viewpoint is simply untrue.
