The restructuring of the education system is a whole year’s worth of murderous script

This is an important piece. Please read and share.

Looking at the news chronology, you’ll find that the removal of the controversial history exam question is just an appetizer. What the government wants to do is to wipe out this generation.

12 Jun 2019 - Secondary school teacher Mr. Yeung was shot in Admiralty. Pro-Beijing newspapers and camps condemned him as a “rioter-teacher”.

Jul 2019 – Pro-Beijing media bombarded the private remarks of the assistant principal of the HKCCCU Logos Academy, claiming that “yellow teachers are poisoning kids".

Aug 2019 onwards – Teachers are targeted and encouraged to blow the whistle on their coworkers. Pro-Beijing media began to attack Liberal Studies in the Hong Kong Senior Secondary Curriculum.

//pro-Beijing media emphasized on the "severe infiltration of yellow teachers", and that the education system must be restructured.

//The freedom of thought of this generation’s students cannot be removed. The only way to suppress them with weapons, beat them up and arrest them, and the cycle continues.

//The government gave up on this generation. Overthrow the system, and the next generation could be brainwashed from the beginning.

//Those who soberly fight back are bound to be driven to extinction. In this battle, there will be no ceasefire until every last Yellow Ribbon either surrendered or died.

<Response to the so-called incident of History exam question>

In the chaotic world, distance and silence should have been kept to stay safe. However, I am a principal. When the interests of my students are unfairly damaged, I need to speak for them and claim justice, so that I am worthy of my students and my profession. Another point is that I am a scholar in this troubled world, and I still have a little bit of the traditional Chinese culture, integrity.

In the spirit of running through tears gas to PolyU to save the students on that day, I hereby solemnly speak out regarding the cancellation of the DSE question in History by the Education Bureau.

1. The DSE History exam questions were open-ended since the first exam and have no standpoint of their own. Critics only have a problem with it because they have a pre-determined point-of-view. Making a mountain out of a molehill is unnecessary and unfair. It is not appropriate to bring politics to the campus!

2. Hong Kong has a society with freedom of speech. It makes Hong Kong valuable, to be able to discuss everything is part of the good side of one country, two systems. The education bureau set limits on its own initiative, this damaged the spirit of one country, two systems, and hindered academic freedom!

3. Indeed, educators should positively guide students to handle sensitive issues carefully and make a clear distinction between right and wrong. Critics mistakenly believe that the education sector lacks such attitudes and abilities, condemning it from a populist stance, History, General Studies... just as "the burning of chained barges", it will cause irreparable harm to the education in Hong Kong!

4. Take a thousand steps back, if there are problems with the history test questions, you should first conduct a fact check, understand the position, size, and scope of the problem, ask the involved parties, and also ask the industry's opinions, and seek various ways to solve the problem...etc. There should be no rush to jump out and be stern without the above premises, stating that there is no room for discussion and eliminate the test question. It is unfair to students who have answered this question, and do not trust them to distinguish right from wrong, presupposing the industry cannot guide students towards goodness even they set the DSE questions and mark the papers. This is judgment without trial! All kinds of behaviors give people the impression of making a tempest.

5. In response to the role of the two offices of Hong Kong and mainland China in handling Article 22, the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau (CMAB) made three changes in one night, making the world laugh. Taking history as a mirror, one should learn from experience and act carefully. To one's surprise, the relevant officials repeated the same mistakes when handling the test questions, such a reckless act!

6. The Chief Executive of Hong Kong accused the education sector of being an "uncovered chicken coop", that is correct, the one who is arbitrary and takes it upon oneself to get in and out is the chief executive and the Education Bureau!

The coming storm casts a shadow before them. Principles, please take care! //

However, cases in this month already alert the people in Hong Kong to examine the apartment building pipeline maintenance issue.

Yuen's article mentioned the situation at Luk Chuen House that patients were living in 6 different units at different floors. It may be the sign of super spreader. He didn't suggest to handle these cases as different cluster infection. In order to reduce super spreader risk, we should increase testing in Hong Kong. At least one out of 1000 people who is having syndrome respiratory infectious disease should be tested daily.

The article also mentioned that disease could continue to survive in the summer. The outbreak may happen again in winter due to low herd immunity. A safe and effective vaccine is still not available widely in the next 12 months.

Research team leading by Yuen published a report on 3 June in Lancet Microbe. The report mentioned 2.2 million people in China Hubei province had infected Covid-19 based on an exploration of 59 million population there. Stanley criticized Yuen a few days ago on Facebook that Yuen received substantial amount of foreign aid from the U.S and using his research data to frame against China.
