United States Congressman Michael Honda has criticized Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s demand to change historical facts regarding Japan’s wartime sex slavery in a U.S. school textbook, calling the move “nonsense.”
Rep. Honda, who won reelection in November last year, said on Friday during a thank you party for his reelection in New Jersey, that even if Abe made the request to U.S. textbook publisher McGraw-Hill, the request would not be accepted.
Abe told a parliament meeting last week that he was surprised by the content in the McGraw-Hill textbook that states "the Japanese Army forcibly recruited, conscripted and dragooned as many as 200-thousand women aged 14 to 20 to serve in military brothels."
Honda said that it is impossible to accept claims that deny historical facts.
