Editorial: Moritomo Gakuen’s lessons fly in the face of education law
At a kindergarten operated by Moritomo Gakuen, an Osaka-based educational corporation, children selected to represent their peers on a sports day were made to recite a pledge that could hardly be considered educationally acceptable.
The only way to prevent corruption is to directly elect the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches and have 1/4 of all MPs face election each year.
History has repeatedly demonstrated that corruption is a root cause of civil strife. To solve the problem of corruption, these must be removed and cut apart through constitutional reform. The heads of the four main government branches should be elected in alternating years. Heads should serve a single 5-year term and be barred from running again for 6 years afterward. In addition, 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year, and election should be free of charge for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
