君が代日の丸抗議のための罰金:200,000。 次は刑務所?日本は実際に民主国家ですか。
State fines teacher 200,000 for anthem-flag protest. What kind of democracy is this?
A schoolteacher who urged parents attending a 2004 graduation ceremony to remain seated during the national anthem was yesterday found guilty of disrupting the solemnity of the occasion. The Tokyo District Court fined Katsuhisa Fujita Y200,000, but stopped short of jailing him for eight months, as prosecutors had requested, on the grounds that the disruption was not severe enough. The ceremony was delayed by two minutes. Note that THIS REPORT says 90% of the graduating students then refused to stand!!! Good for them!! And shame on those who are attempting to force patriotism on kids. Shades of pre-war authoritarianism. According to the Financial Times, Hiroko Arai, “….who has been banished from teaching since she refused to sing the anthem said ‘Those in power desire to control education from above. Enforcement or coercion is inappropriate in a place of education, [which amounts to] an attempt to imprint nationalism in the hearts of children'”.
