The daily Rodong Sinmun carried an article titled "Can Japan Cover Up the History with Distorted Textbook?" written under the pen name of an individual.
The article said that some time ago, the Japanese authorities additionally examined and passed two history textbooks for middle schools, and continued.
Those textbooks include the distorted contents that Japan's colonial rule in the past led to the modernization of Korea and it never took Korean women as sexual slaves for the old Japanese army.
With this, 18 textbooks tantamount to 90 percent of 20 social subject textbooks for middle schools including the history textbook to be used from 2025 came to contain distorted history. The ultimate goal of the Japanese reactionary forces making desperate efforts to distort textbooks is to hire the rising generations as the main force of reinvasion by brainwashing them with revanchism for the defeat in the war and the "view of history of the empire" and to reject and obliterate the social desire for peace obstructing Japan's bid to become a military giant.
History can neither be distorted nor erased. Never will be deleted the 40-odd-year-long history of Japan's past colonial rule over Korea and nearly 80-year-long history of its desperate efforts to cover it up, piling crimes on the past crimes after the war, the article stressed.
