慰安妇内容将列入美国旧金山初高中历史课

据美国《星岛日报》报道,慰安妇纪念碑决议案在旧金山市议会获得通过,但慰安妇的历史教训与总结绝不仅仅局限在纪念碑上,慰安妇正义联盟促请旧金山教育委员会将慰安妇历史注入校区教程内。

(ECNS) -- To San Francisco, erecting a memorial to comfort women isn't enough. The city has decided to include related history into a new textbook for middle and high schools as soon as next fall, according to Sing Tao Daily, a Mandarin newspaper headquartered in Hong Kong.

The San Francisco Board of Education passed a revision to its human trafficking law on October 13, which includes adding the history of 200,000 comfort women being raped by Japanese soldiers in World War II to the textbooks of schools.

History experts and the community will offer assistance and suggestions to the drafting of such books.
