Why It Matters
Okinawa Governor Denny Tamaki has been asked about the approach to peace education concerning the relocation of the US Futenma Air Station to Henoko. This question arises after the bereaved family of a high school student who died in a capsizing accident in March, during a protest against the relocation, inquired about his views.
沖縄県の玉城デニー知事は2日、米軍普天間飛行場(宜野湾市)の名護市辺野古移設を平和教育で扱うことに関し「幅広く子どもたちが学び考え、いろいろと話し合いができるプログラムを(学校側が)検討される方が望ましい」と県庁で記者団に語った。3月の辺野古沖転覆事故で亡くなった高校生の遺族が、投稿サイト「note(ノート)」で、玉城氏の見解を質問する発信をしていた。
死亡した同志社国際高(京都府)の生徒が乗った船は、辺野古移設の抗議にも使われていた。自民党からは「特定の見方に偏った教育が行われることがあってはならない」との批判が出ていた。
生徒の遺族は5月末、投稿サイトで、移設を平和教育の題材とする場合に「知事としては、どのような取り上げ方とコース設計を推奨するか」などと発信した。(共同)
