It is reported that the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology rejected the request for Japanese right-wing organizations to delete the contents of Japanese military’comfort women’ victims from the middle school history textbooks. On the 24th, Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, in response to a complaint filed by the “New History Textbook Creation Group” (new station mother) who requested that the technology related to “military comfort women” be deleted from the middle school history textbook published by Yamakawa Publishing. Deleted) The recommendation was not considered.” Right-wing organizations, such as new mothers, sent a request to the publisher to recommend the removal of technology related to’comfort women’ to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in December last year following 2019, but all were rejected. Right-wing organizations are questioning the part in the history textbook created by this publishing company that says, “Women were recruited from Korea, China, and the Philippines in the’comfort facilities’ installed on the battlefield (so-called military comfort women)”. “The military comfort women are words that can be used in deep connection with the image of forced arrest,” said the new station mother, and pointed out that it is unfair. He also argued that the expression’comfort women’ was not appropriate in historical terms because it did not exist during the war at the time. Accordingly, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Tourism is known to have said that there is no problem, saying that there was no description of “there was a compulsory arrest by the military and government constitution (in the textbook).” However, the newspaper reported that the new trainees revolted, saying, “Even if there is no direct description of the forced arrest, it is an expression that can be misleading.” Japanese right-wing forces allege that there was a problem with the investigation of the victims of’comfort women’ (1993), which is the basis for the’comfort women’ mobilization, which is the basis for the’comfort women’ mobilization. He continues to’scratch’. The demand for textbook deletion is also interpreted as an extension of this movement. By Kim So-yeon, staff reporter [email protected]
