S. Korea to adopt textbooks that criticize historical claims by Japan and China

OK, so there's this:
South Korea plans to introduce history textbooks that include chapters rebutting historical claims by its neighboring countries, officials said Tuesday...Japan has been slammed for refusing to apologize for its exploitation of about 200,000 "comfort women" in army brothels during World War II after taking them from neighboring nations including South Korea and the Philippines....
Which makes me wonder about how revising "history" will change the fundamental beliefs and development of the Koreans.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Well, at least the irony is amusing. But I tend to think S. Korea is right in trying to tell its students the truth about their country. And about what the Japanese did in WWII, which was pretty disgusting.
