[KS] Naming Kwangju, May 1980

[Brother Anthony]

It is worth noting the article published in the Korea Times last week:  http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2011/11/117_98533.html 

The head of an advisory panel for Education Minister Lee Ju-ho on revising guidelines for history textbooks resigned from the post amid a controversy over descriptions of ideological issues, officials said Thursday.
 
The resignation came in protest of the ministry?s recent decision to adopt what liberals called a conservative stance on portraying important events in the country?s modern history.
 
For instance, the government erased descriptions of the May 18 Democratic Movement, a popular uprising against the dictatorship of former President Chun Doo-hwan in 1980, in the revised version despite opposition from liberal historians.
