This is interesting...
I say this because DYMM Sultan Selangor had already mentioned to leave kids out of protests in response to the JERIT protests.
It seems that our dear Education Minister needs to understand something about protests.
Protests are held VOLUNTARILY. All children that attended the JERIT and BERSIH rallies came voluntarily. And knowing the Education Ministry and how they handle things, they'll rope in everyone they can, not bothering about some of us that feel they ought not to go.
I'll be honest. I'm somewhere in the middle on this. Because organizing protests like this will instill a need for the average man (or those soon to be) to speak up.
But I feel that this is ALSO a stupid move by the Ministry. Because all this time, teachers, heads of schools and the Ministry themselves have been against blogs and protests (which translates to not supporting free speech).
And by holding these protests, they're literally making their objective VERY blurry.
Are they AGAINST or FOR free speech?
If they're against it, they ought not to hold these protests.
If they're for it, they REALLY have to shut the teachers and headmasters/headmistresses to shut up, because they've always been against free speech.
Tell me, Hishammudin, which one of the two above are YOU?
