I was a high school political science teacher. During my career, my mind was filled with the Chinese Communist Party's lies that I myself did not even believe. However, in order to insure that my students received high test scores, I was very committed to my job. This dedication has harmed both others and myself, and has hindered the proper growth and development of the children. According to my understanding, none of the political science teachers are very healthy, and this must be their retribution! To ensure my and the children's future happiness, I've decided to solemnly declare my withdrawal from the evil Communist Party and its organizations.
