It looks like the state sponsored textbooks is another casualty of the President Park political scandal:
Protesters against state sponsored textbooks.
The parliament’s education committee on Friday passed a bill to ban state-authored textbooks amid the boycott from conservative parties.
The National Assembly Education, Culture, Sports & Tourism Committee approved the bill that bans the use of textbooks whose copyrights are held by the government. The bill has been handed over to the Legislation and Judiciary Committee.
The bill targets the Park Geun-hye government’s plan to provide middle and high school students with state-authored history textbooks, which critics say is intended to imbue students with rightist views of the nation’s modern history. [Yonhap]
You can read more at the link, but the significance of this is that these textbooks are hold overs from the Sunshine Policy years where leftist teachers were able to get pro-North Korean textbooks into the schools. Today the Sunshine Policy and its leftist supporters have been greatly discredited, but the books still remain in the schools which is what the Park administration however incompetently was trying to address.
>Today the Sunshine Policy and its leftist supporters have been greatly discredited
Well, they WERE discredited for the past ten years while the Conservative party was in power. Now that the left parties have taken control of the national assembly and they’re the ones really running the country after this impeachment process, look for things to change one by one as the Left start to take full control of the nation. They’ve already got all the media on board except for the few remaining media that are still on the right who are really in trouble and concerned.
