NEW YORK – Two New York state lawmakers said Monday that they have introduced legislation to require all new public school textbooks used in the state to refer to the waters between Japan and South Korea as the East Sea as well as the Sea of Japan.
The East Sea is South Korea’s preferred name. Korean Americans in the state have been pressing for textbooks to use both names for the body of water.
The bill was introduced to both houses of the state legislature after Virginia state lawmakers passed similar legislation last Thursday.
