"Tokyo - A senior Japanese government official said Thursday a word related to Japan's sex slavery practices in World War II should be removed from middle of school history textbooks...
...'Considering the children's growth and development stage, it is not appropriate to include the word 'comfort women' in junior highschool textbooks,' senior vice education minister Hakubun Shimomura told a House of Councilors committee, Kyodo News reported."

Having previously jested about the Japanese perspective on 'Comfort Women' I will simply direct you to the full quoted-article at asiansexgazette.com.

The Japanese are not the only country to have a habit of canceling history from their school curriculum. Where are the historical accounts of the American bombing of Dresden during WWII? And why not mention the popular eugenics movement in the West at the turn of the 20th Century (long before the advocation of eugenics by the Nazis)? History has a habit of being told by the winners, for the winners. Making guilty consciences fade into the ether since time immemorial.
