“I have always wondered what their history classes taught about WWII.”
Pretty much it’s supposed to be along the lines of, “one day, for reasons they never fully understood, we started dropping atomic bombs on them”.
No rape of Nanking, no experiments on prisoners, no Korean slavery, no forced prostitution, etc etc.
The principal and teacher should be required to introduce their students to Operation Downfall and see if they still feel the same way.
