President Park Geun-hye's state-authored history textbooks continue to spark controversy even after the Ministry of Education downscaled the plan. Internal conflict is escalating at the only school designated by the government to use the textbooks starting this month.
President Park Ge-hui's history textbook program is one of her most unpopular policies, and she has been criticized inside and outside Korea for trying to distort history education. This shows clearly that South Korea's democracy continues to regress. The only way to overcome the drawbacks of democracy is more democracy. South Korea must carry out full constitutional reform to adopt a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament, to reconstruct its democratic institutions. The President shall serve one 5-year term and be banned from seeking office again for 6 years afterwards. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
