東京大学大学院教育学研究科の本田由紀教授が、1日に自身のX(旧ツイッター)で、皇室関連の記事などを引用し「遺伝的要因のおそろしさを感じる」などと投稿した。差別的な表現だ、などと批判が相次いでおり、本田氏が会長を務めている日本教育学会は「倫理委員会で対応を検討中」としている。

本田氏は朝日新聞の取材に、学会を通じ「取材はお断りしております」とした。

本田氏は、皇室典範改正に伴う法改正で、皇族費が増えると報じた東京新聞の記事や、特定の皇族の写真を添付するなどした投稿を引用してリポスト(再投稿)。その際に「この人たちを目にするたびに、遺伝的要因のおそろしさを感じる。露出の増加が逆効果になるかもしれない」と投稿していた。

これに対し、「遺伝を理由に差別するのか」「言動ではなく血統や遺伝を理由に人間的価値を評価していいのか」「誹謗(ひぼう)中傷になりえる」といった指摘がSNSなどで相次いだ。

朝日新聞の取材に対し、日本教育学会の事務局は「当該投稿および投稿に対して寄せられている批判については、把握しております」と回答。その上で、「倫理委員会において対応を検討中」とした。

東京大学本部コミュニケーション戦略課は「投稿については承知しております。本学では『構成員は、人権を尊重し、高い倫理観を持って行動しなければならない』と定めています。人権尊重及びコンプライアンスの重要性の周知に努めてまいります」と回答した。

本田氏は朝日新聞デジタル版「コメントプラス」のコメンテーターを務めています。本社は人権尊重を基本原則とする人権方針を定めており、この方針への理解と実践をコメンテーターにも求めてまいります。

The National Police Agency's Expert Review Committee recommended adding a test that requires multiple maneuvers at the same time, such as changing directions, based on the fact that the number of accidents among those who passed the driving test for drivers aged 75 and older with a history of driving violations was 2.8 times that of elderly people who are not eligible. We aim to improve from next year.

National Police Agency strengthens driving skill tests for elderly drivers, adds direction change and safety confirmation, doubles demerit points for not stopping temporarily

On the 3rd, the National Police Agency announced plans to add ``change of direction'' and ``safety checks'' to the left and right sides of the vehicle to the examination items of the ``driving skill test'' required of elderly drivers aged 75 and older who have a history of violations such as ignoring red lights, and to double the number of demerit points for ``failure to stop at an intersection'' to 40 points. The system will be revised in fiscal 2027 following a review based on a report from a panel of experts and a public opinion gathering. In demonstration tests at license exam centers in Tokyo and Osaka, the pass rate was 81.6%, 12 points lower than the current rate.

The aim is for participants to feel close to each other through their shared last names, and to build momentum for the introduction of the system.
