Firstly, freedom is always one of the internal values of Hong Kong.
Upholding the treasurable value, we should respect every school’s decisions on
implementing the curriculum or not. The participants should never ask for a
total ban on the curriculum, or otherwise, they are becoming dictators like the
one we are opposing.
Apart from that, the boycott brings no benefits. The boycott
participants are mainly tertiary students, they should cherish their limited
learning sessions. As the government has already backed down, they should know
that there is no or very low possibility for it to accept student’s petition
once again, especially when most of the protestors before changing their
minds right after the back down. Thus, it is completely unwise of the
attendants to spend their valuable time on an event which has no positive
effects.
The boycott students may argue that the curriculum may become a
brainwashing tool of the Chinese government. Yet, isn’t it a responsibility of
people to understand more about their country? Hong Kong is not an exception. The
national education curriculum aims to help HongKongers gain more knowledge about
their nation. Neither the curriculum instructions nor the Education Bureau have
mentioned any words related to brainwashing. Wouldn’t they be too sensitive and
even let the imaginary shortcoming cover all of its benefits?
To conclude, the boycott violates Hong Kong’s freedom, brings no
benefits and too sensitive to ignore the advantages of the national education
curriculum. These are the
points that the participants should think of.
