I am struggling to process this article.

Tibet is not standing silent.

This narrative is not only misleading but false.

Tibetans have been silenced. Actively. Brutally. Intentionally.

With planning & sophistication most can hardly comprehend.

apnews.com/article/winter… All of the critical elements of the Tibet story are in here, but somehow they aren’t connected.

China's cultural genocide & crushing repression are underplayed at the very moment they should be clearly pointed out.

Our report uncovers China's massive colonial boarding school system in Tibet. 800,000 - 900,000 Tibetan children ages 6-18 are separated frm their parents & families in schools designed to strip them of their identity. This # doesn't include 4 & 5 yr-olds in boarding pre-schools. Tibetan parents have no choice but to send their children away to these schools. All alternatives are being shut down, incl. local rural schools & Tibetan-run private & monastery schools. They are threatened & penalized if they resist & they not free to protest or push 4 change.
