During the war there probably were atrocities committed by some members of the military, but that is not limited to the Japanese. There is no reason to teach these things to children in compulsory education
I was so embarrassed about all the things Japan has done and had no clue about it until I left Japan and lived abroad. All I learned in school was what the U.S. has done (mainly in Hiroshima) and they don't even teach us about Pearl Harbor. I love Japan and proud to be one, but Japan will never move forward with that kind of attitude. Instead of poiting a finger at others, we should face and acknowledge the fact and should'nt be afraid of passing it on the next generation.

How could they keep making the same horrible mistake over and over again? If you are not ready to become a parent, then use protection!! Japanese sex education definitely needs to be improved. They are way too innocent and shy when it comes to talking about sex.
