A Japanese newspaper reports that students attending public high schools in California will likely learn about Japan’s wartime sexual slavery starting in 2017.
 
The Sankei Shimbun said Monday that Japan’s wartime sexual slavery was added to a new draft framework for the history and social studies curriculum, which will be applied to tenth graders of California public schools starting in 2017.
  
According to Sankei, the new framework states that the so-called comfort women were conscripted by Japan before and during World War II and the issue can be taught as an example of systematized sexual slavery or the largest human trafficking case in the 20th century.
 
The framework was announced by the California Department of Education on Friday.
