It's about time. Clearly this organization is controlled by North Korea. |

So the KTU sent some money to boost its own sweetheart contender for the position of SMOE's top watchdog job.
Seems like a minor offence rather than a major one. Do organizations not do this sort of thing everyday on a less formal basis? You know, sweeping and paving the road for their strongest likely contender to get in? I see the problem with diverting funds when you're supposed to be an independent organization but this looks like wrist-slapping action is called for, not major news.
I smell sour grapes. A lot of yahoos step up for jobs like this and organizations like the KTU will often pipe up and voice opposition if they think there's a complete f*ck-up about to get into office.
And posters were asking for this a month ago? I guess I just don't understand the severity of it. Seems like perfectly defensible behavior on the part of the KTU. |

I would question how this could be possible, but recently I discovered some interesting materials.
Go to http://usinkorea.org/, look at the upper left hand part of the web page and click the link "Korea Teachers Union Vile Anti-US Video Lesson." It's a "real pleasure" to watch. It makes me think that Wylies99 might be correct.
This morning I had several Korean teachers tell me that they wanted Obama to win. Maybe they saw this video: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=i2naSzb1psU. |

They were certainly working hand-in-hand with the pro-NK, anti-US factions during the beef protests. It's a vile organization that, while it may have had admirable intentions when it started amidst military regimes, is clearly off its rocker now. Too bad 35% of teachers in Jeollanam-do belong to it.  |

Are they sure that's what they REALLY want? |
