The improper control of Ishiharaʼs Tokyo metropolitan government has completely destroyed democratic and independent education in the country. However, this means that the Board of Educationʼs mission is the old Fundamental Law of Education, Article 10ʠEducation shall not be subject to improper control but it shall be directly responsible to the whole peopleʡ. It is also a question of whether we were able to protect or not. Once, Kunitachi supported the decision of the board of education which chose the four town system at the time of ʼKinpyouʼ. There was a trusting relationship between the Board of Education and the public through an incessant dialogue. Ishiharaʼs intervention has systematically divided the relationship by capturing the superintendent of education, dispatching the staff of the guidance section from the Metropolitan Education Commission, conducting short-term transfer personnel affairs of the teacher and the principal, vetoing the election of the education committee of the assembly, and conducting attacks using the media. By doing these things, the Board of Education and education itself were taken away from the local citizens. The only way to counter this is to foster the power of citizen autonomy through open education.
