Harmful History Textbook is Going to be Used in Yokohama
The decision by Yokohama Educational Commitee on August 4th, 2009 was quite unconfortable, disgusting one. Yokohama is a large and a famous port city located in southern west side of Tokyo. What was problmatic was that Yokohoma Edhucation Committee selected one infamous history text book for their highschool in 8 of 18 wards in Yokohama. The textbook chosen at the meeting is written by Jiyuusha(#1). Harhaps "chosen" is not an appropriate word for what the comittee did, because the commitee members did not treat all the testbooks equally. Their determination procedure was to compare other testbooks to the Jiyuusha's whether they are better than Jiyuusha's or not. So there should have been a strong preference for Jiyuusha's Textbook(#2).
I tried to this post on last September (now it's January 2010), but because of my limited ability for English, I have given up to complete this post. Anyway at least I can say the decision by the committee was shameful and the mayer of Yokohama city is responsible for it.

#2: There is a source about the selecting procedure, but I would't like to make a link to it because my political preference does not match theirs completely.
