[Retaliatory Education] Primary school principal suspected of coercing teacher into forging documents, teacher forced into early resignation after arrest
(01 Aug) One year ago, people feared that "reprisals at the right moment" on the one hand and, on the other, took to the streets to strike and protest despite their trepidation towards the authorities. A year later, the atmosphere of protest in society dampened. White terror silently followed after the passing of the Hong Kong national security law. "Reprisals at the right moment" quietly began.
The education profession was among the first to be affected. Working under great political pressure, teachers kept their guard up even after school hours. A single "sensitive" phrase, liking an online post that criticises the government or participating only once in a legal protest may be enough to cost them their jobs.
InMedia HK interviewed many teachers who received complaints, were suppressed by the school or were even dismissed because of their political stances. Neither secondary school liberal studies teachers, teaching assistants nor university professors can avoid this quandary. Under the national security law, what recourse do they have?
//After his arrest, the school's senior management coerced him into signing a "voluntary resignation letter", feigning that he had left before his arrest.
//"I don't expect anyone to hire me. Even though I'm still registered, it's over."
//he was only standing up for justice.
