Pro-North Teaching Agenda Uncovered
The Korean Teachers and Educational Worker's Union (KTEWU) is creating a stir as it has been disclosed that its Busan branch copied much of the book Modern Chosun History published by the North Korea Academy of Social Science in 1983 when it was making educational materials for teachers on unification issues last year....

Wow, no surprise there. The teachers unions in this country are way too far left.

Oh, please let them unify. You think things are fucked up now, just wait until those two ideologies meet. Then, they'll *beep* with another country...someone powerful and with balls...and they will get their pampered little butts handed to them. Oh, I can't wait until Korea has to actually take responsibility for its actions. They are in for a hard landing.

Just out of curiousity, is this the same klavern that was responsible for the Gyeonggi English Camps sexual assault hoo-haa and the anti-globalisation video around the time of the APEC meeting?

Yet they complain about Japan revising their history in their textbooks. I am sure that the North Korean point of view would be highly objective. Rolling Eyes

Honestly, I cannot think of something set for such a spectacular failure as the reunion of "Korea". The funny thing is how two-faced they all are about reunification. NO one actually wants this to happen. We are talking about the most selfish people when it comes to money and power, willingly accepting their financial livelihoods being put in peril to save a bunch of strangers? They could give two-sh its about their "brothers." They stand idley by as millions of children starve to death, an hour or so away from Seoul. If Korea was a mental illness, they would be schitzophrenia.

Reunification would destroy their standard of living and cripple this country methinks. Taxes would go through the roof. The reunification of Germany will seem like a cakewalk.
I often wonder too if Koreans would really want reunification if they knew what was coming. .

They do know this, so they don't rally want re-unification. They just pay it lip service to look like they have the "Korea: one love" idea going.
They couldn't care less that the people are starving up there.
Anyway, that's why they want to keep aiding and propping up the dictatorship up there. They don't want the catastrophe of NK collapsing and them having to pay for it.
