抗議明光社教人權

教師絕食抗議明光社教人權[18:46]

(法新社)

一名外籍教師準備在政府總部門外,絕食2日,抗議教統局將一個人權教育課程外判給反對同性戀的明光社。

該名34歲的教師Benton手持一個標語指出:「拒絕權利不是人權」,他指出這個反對同性戀者權利的組織不能教好人權,要求政府公開投標標準,為何明光社可擊敗人權組織、港大及教育學院等機構,奪得標書,教授老師有關人權問題。

this is not a good sign for Hong Kong, anytime people shouted for something, they got more. And the worst of all, they usually neglect the benefits of the 'minority'.

Welcome visitor...

Are you suggesting 明光社 has "got more" because they made more "noise" in the media? I'm not so sure, but obviously the government was plainly politically insensitive in alloting the training contract to them. I just guess the choice may simply be the result of some stupid bureaucratic rules, e.g. the lowest price bidder won the bid.

我相信政府是策略性地找明光社作夥伴的, 這事十分可怕。 請看明光社課程的部份內容介紹:

...人們只重視個人的權利,而忽略了個人對社會的責任和義務,爭取極端自由化的人士每每以高舉「人權」來衝擊傳統的社會制度。.....讓教育工作者真正認識「人權」的真正意義,指出曲解「人權」的意義可能會導致更多社會問題....
....探討香港濫用人權事件及教案設計.....人權被過份高舉的危險性.....如何平衡個人權利與社會責任

這不正是政府心目中「和諧社會」的「人權」嗎?

明x社已不只向同志社群開戰,事關人權,再不可以沉默了.....
