"Dear Leader" Decries Teacher Union Bashing

This just in from the Korean Central News Agency in Pyongyang:

"A spokesman for the Central Committee of the Korean Educational and Cultural Workers' Union issued a statement on Jan. 21 in denunciation of the moves of the south Korean neo-conservative forces to frame up 'Liberal Teachers Union' in a bid to implant feelings of separation in the hearts of the nation with mistrust and confrontation, dull the rising generations' consciousness of national independence and immolate them to outside forces."

The North Korean angst is over a center-right teachers' union -- called the Liberal Teachers Union -- being formed in South Korea as a counter to the left-wing Korea Teachers and Educators Union.

Pyongyang continues: "In south Korea the Grand National Party and other conservative forces are now bringing together those riffraffs who are crazy for worship towards the U.S. to frame up the 'Liberal Teachers Union' against the National Teachers Union (Jongyojo) which is conducting progressive and patriotic educational activities for independent reunification among students."
