“Abnormal” Japan at ROK Drop — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 21:40:20 +0000

[...] Isn’t the current mass sexual slavery of North Korean women going on in China today without a word of outrage from the South Korean government "abnormal"?Â Isn’t the fact that the South Korean government would rather have North Korean defectors return to certain death in a gulag then be allowed to enter South Korea "abnormal"?Â Isn’t the fact that the South Korean government abandons their own citizens kidnapped by the North Koreans to the point that a lone ajumma had to free here husband from North Korea herself just a bit "abnormal"?Â Then the South Korean government sends Kim Jong-il a suitcase filled with $400,000 dollars in cash also "abnormal".Â Isn’t the fact that South Korean teachers have been caught with North Korean propaganda with intent to distribute while constantly spreading anti-US rhetoric in the classrooms also just a bit "abnormal"?Â [...]

[...] May 9, 2006:Â The far-left, anti-American, North Korean-infiltrated Korean Teachers’ Union tours Korean schools, telling the kids that an FTA means that they will be “brainwashed” by American ideology in the formÂ of such films as “Batman” and “Superman.”Â [...]

Teachers in Korea Get No Respect? at ROK Drop — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 23:17:07 +0000

[...] Historically Korea has maintained a culture that payed great respect to teachers and scholars, however by reading news reports like this it appears this culture is changing.Â The question I have is it the students or is the teachers that is changing?Â If a teacher lets them use cell phones in class, why is the teacher surprised that the student is zoning them out?Â If teachers spent more time acting like teachers instead of spreading anti-Japanese hatred and North Korean propaganda maybe they would earn more respect in the classroom.

First Signs of an All Volunteer ROK Army? at ROK Drop — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 05:48:43 +0000

[...] I have posted before that the long term readiness of the ROK Army will be affected if the Korean government does not do more to professionalize the force.Â I say this because in the past, completing your mandatory service in the ROK military was considered a gate you passed to become a man in Korean society.Â People who did not do their national service were looked down upon.Â Today though it is the complete opposite, mandatory service is something at best to be avoided.Â What has changed this attitude so drastically over the course of only a decade?Â First all living standards have increased where people don’t want to spend two years of their lives living in a cramped barracks getting beat down by superiors for a next to nothing pay check.Â Secondly and most importantly in my opinion is that the youth being conscripted into the ROK military do not see the North Korean threat as a legitimate threat to the nation.Â The progressives in the South Korean educational system have successfully indoctrinated an entire South Korean generation into the bogus belief that North Korea is just some misunderstood uncle that doesn’t mean any harm to South Korea.Â Don’t believe me?Â Then read this.

You might want to check with ‘The Marmot’, he may have copies of handouts that were being distributed to students several years ago by union teachers with ‘information’ that seemed to have been plagiarized from the Rodong Shinmun.
