Rewriting history in school text books

[ricohflex]

Does it still work?
Previously school children can be brainwashed through their text books.
Nowadays people are connected to the Internet and can read other versions.

Guess the very poor command of English by most Japanese will help their govt to cover it up, since they don't understand the differing versions in English language on the Internet.

As some bro mentioned, history is not about facts, it is about perspectives.
