Japanese textbook controversy

Okay, so imagine you have a group of friends and one day, you guys are learning a new game. But there's a problem. One of your friends is telling you to play the game a certain way, but the other friends say that's not how the game is supposed to be played. You all get upset and argue about how to play the game.

Now, this is pretty much what's happening with the Japanese textbook controversy. There's a disagreement between people about how certain things should be taught in schools in Japan. See, textbooks are books that students use to learn things in school. And in Japan, there are certain things that some people want to teach in the textbooks, and others disagree with it.

For example, there's a group of people who say that Japan should be proud of their history, and they want to teach things like how Japan fought in World War II. But other people say that talking about war isn't a good idea, and they want to focus on better things in history.

So there are two different ways that people want to teach things in textbooks. Just like how your friends were having a disagreement about how to play a game, people in Japan are arguing about what should be included in the textbooks. Does that make sense to you?
