PROPOSED TO END TEACHING OF "ANTI-JAPANESE" THOUGHTS
The ruling Liberal-Democratic party is seeking to eliminate the teaching of "anti-Japanese" thoughts in foreign schools in Japan, according to Kakuei Tanaka, the party's general secretary. This is the intent of a bill in the Diet empowering the Education Minister to order changes in curricula and facilities, discontinuance of school activities and even the closing of foreign schools. The Japan Socialist and Communist parties charge that the proposed law is "designed to oppress North Korean schools in Japan" and are fighting passage of the reactionary measure.
