I just had a talk with someone (an Australian high school teacher) about non-western history electives which he teaches and are recently added to the curriculum (considering the young timeline of Australia, some people living under White-Australian policy are still alive today). He said - which I agree - that students don't need to approve what those countries are doing, but they need to understand the situations that form their decisions and philosophies.
