San Francisco's Education Board expresses support for teaching students about 'comfort women'
By KH디지털2Published : April 28, 2016 - 09:40
San Francisco's Board of Education has adopted a resolution supporting California's new school curriculum guidelines calling for teaching students about Japan's wartime sexual slavery.
The board passed the resolution after holding a special meeting on Tuesday night.
The California Department of Education has been collecting comments from the public on the 2014-2016 Draft History-Social Science Framework that includes the "comfort women" issue in the world history curriculum for grade 10.
The proposed framework said that "'comfort women," a euphemism for sexual slaves, were taken by the Japanese Army in occupied territories before and during the war," and that the issue can be taught as an "example of institutionalized sexual slavery, and one of the largest cases of human trafficking in the twentieth century."
The department plans to finalize the framework in May after collecting public views. (Yonhap)
