KMT protests textbook changes

Pan said "further revisions" were possible.

On the KMT's threat to ban the textbooks in counties and cities it administers, Pan said his ministry respected curriculum diversity, but all textbooks must pass stringent review by the ministry before being used in classrooms.

When asked for comments in Kaohsiung, Minister of Education Tu Cheng-sheng (杜正勝) said "de-sinicization" was not the goal of the proposed changes.
