Lee Group's Moves for Retrogressive Revision of "Moral Textbook" Flailed
Pyongyang, January 23 (KCNA) -- The Lee Myung Bak group forced textbook writers to write "moral textbook" to be used at middle schools from 2010 according to its "standard of writing". In the "standard" the puppets put forward the treacherous theory on "unification through absorption" while absolutizing "differences between the south and the north" and, at the same time, pressurized the said writers not to deal with the period of the anti-Japanese armed struggle and the Juche idea.

Commenting on this, Minju Joson Friday terms "differences between the south and the north" and "unification through absorption" touted by the puppets heinous treacherous anti-reunification sophism.

To absolutize "differences between the south and the north" is a criminal act to antagonize fellow countrymen and perpetuate the division of the nation and to spread the theory on "unification through absorption" which had already been thrown into a dustbin after being bitterly condemned by the fellow countrymen is an undisguised revelation of the puppets' ambition to invade the north, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The puppets pressurized the said writers not to mention even a word the period of the anti-Japanese armed struggle in a bid to cover up the indelible crimes committed by them against the country and the nation to serve Japan. This is a ruckus which can be kicked off only by traitor Lee Myung Bak ill-famed for his pro-Japanese career, as he was born in Osaka, Japan.

The above-said "standard of writing" is peppered with phraseologies calling for blocking national reconciliation and unity and seeking confrontation and war. Confrontation with fellow countrymen can never become a "standard" on all accounts.

The Lee group's moves to retrogressively revise the textbook are intolerable as they are an unpopular anti-reunification act to benumb the younger generation's consciousness of independence against the U.S. and instill into them the idea of slavish submission to its treacherous rule and consciousness of confrontation with fellow countrymen and thus use them as a shock force for confrontation with fellow countrymen and a war of aggression against the north in the future.

The fellow countrymen will certainly force the Lee group to pay for the crimes committed by it going against national reconciliation, unity and reunification.
