(LEAD) Seoul high schools switch history textbooks amid 'left-leaning' controversy
SEOUL, Dec. 3 (Yonhap) -- Scores of Seoul high schools have canceled purchase orders from a major publisher following government criticism that its history textbooks are "left-leaning," officials said Wednesday, amid rows over how to interpret Korea's turbulent modern history.
History books by Kumsung Publishing Co., now used by more than half of Seoul high schools, have been accused by conservatives of playing down the founding of South Korea and glossing over the North Korean regime.
