I sent the following to Bezirk Mitte, Berlin's left-wing lawmakers, and the citizens who support their actions.
It is a quote from the book by Professor Lee Young-hoon.
He graduated from the Department of Economics at Seoul University and earned a Doctor of Economics. He was an associate professor of Economics at Hanshin University and a professor at Sungkyunkwan University. He is a co-representative of the Textbook Forum.
He was a winner of the Kyung-Ahm Prize in 2013.
The preamble is omitted.
'The people of this country have made lying an everyday part of their lives. The fact that politicians in this country use lies as a means of political Contestation is the most significant responsibility of all lying academics in this country. As I see it, history and sociology in this country are a hotbed of lies. The universities in this country are factories of lies. I am proud to say that it is not a big mistake to say so. It's been around since the 1960s, so that kind of time has already gone by for 60 years. That's why, in the 2000s, all citizens and all politicians began to lie with impunity.
Then, he lists the lies of Korean history, his field of study.
'The list of lies told in Korean history from ancient to modern times is endless. Lies are rampant, mainly in connection with the history of Japan's domination of the land in the 20th century. I will list just a few of the many that I have debunked in this book.
The Governor-General's textbook account of taking 40% of the nation's land through a land survey project to make it nationally owned land was a bogus novel. The textbook's claim that rice from colonial Korea was shipped to Japan was the product of ignorance. The claim that Japanese imperialism mobilized Koreans as laborers and enslaved them during the war was a malicious fabrication. The march of lies culminated in the Japanese military comfort women issue. The notion that military police and the police abducted virgins from the streets or took women from laundries and dragged them to the comfort station was a complete lie, and not a single case was ever found.'
After criticizing history studies to this point, he thoroughly criticizes the Supreme Court's wartime workers' compensation decision last October, saying that the lies have spread to the courts.
'It's already been 60 years since false scholarship wrote false history and taught it to the younger generation. The generation that grew up with that education has finally become Supreme Court justices, so it's not
strange that this country's judicial branch is trying lies.'
